Mesolithic Age
(11.000-6000 a.c)


Features
The passage from the Palaeolithic to the Neolithic has been slow and progressive. The Mesolithic is the period in-between, a kind of period of transition when the techniques for the stone working have been experimented and refined.
To this period is referred the C level of the Corbeddu Cave in Oliena (Nu), characterised by the presence of deer’s bones with combustion traces, therefore testifying the human presence. The human being is supposed to have been a regular visitor of the cave, leaving there numerous hunting tools and other evidences of his everyday life.
