Palaeolithic Age.
(500.000 bC-10.000)

Evidences.
The first traces of human life in Sardinia are dated back to the late Palaeolithic (500.000-10.000 B.C.) and involve tools made of big stone splinters. The materials used during the early Palaeolithic(35.000-10.000) are also well known. The middle Palaeolithic (100.00-35.000) evidences are instead missing.
Until recent studies it was common belief Sardinia had a poor wildlife during the Palaeolithic but, after discovering some tools made of big flint splinters in the area of Perfugas, Anglona and Laerru (SS), we can today state the human life is dated back to the late Palaeolithic (500.000-100.000).
The gap of evidences related to the period in-between (middle Palaeolithic) leaves us with a vacuum of several millennium, up to 12.000 b.C (early Palaeolithic).
