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:
“At middle night great cats with silver claws,
Bodies of shadow and blind eyes like pearls,
Came up out of the hole, and red-eared hounds
With long white bodies came out of the air
Suddenly, and ran at them and harried them.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
