Middle Paleolithic
The Middle Paleolithic period is defined by the Mousterian technology and, in Europe, it is work of Homo neanderthalensis.
These Neanderthals settled the Basque Country somewhat more widely than their predecessors, colonizing as well the high coastalands of Biscay and Gipuzkoa. Neanderthal remains have been found in Lezetxiki and Axlor caves.

Famous quotes containing the word middle:
“The middle years of parenthood are characterized by ambiguity. Our kids are no longer helpless, but neither are they independent. We are still active parents but we have more time now to concentrate on our personal needs. Our children’s world has expanded. It is not enclosed within a kind of magic dotted line drawn by us. Although we are still the most important adults in their lives, we are no longer the only significant adults.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
