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:
“When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked.... In other words, I don’t improve, in further words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
