The Pre-Nuragic period refers to the prehistory of Sardinia from the Paleolithic till the middle Bronze age, when the Nuragic civilization flourished on the island. ==Paleolithic== The discovery of Paleolithic lithic workshops indicate a human presence in Sardinia in the period between 450,000 and 10,000 years ago. According to the researchers, an hominid called "Nur" was the first to colonize the current territory of the island about 250,000 years ago, in the Lower Paleolithic; based on studies of a phalanx found in Cheremule, the researchers supposed that he may was a pre-Neanderthal,〔(Julien Vandevenne, Le doigt sur l'homo sardaignus )〕 but some have expressed doubts, assuming a morphological distance from hominids.〔(Barbara Wilkens, La falange della grotta di Nurighe presso Cheremule: revisione e nuove informazioni )〕 During the last ice age sea levels were lower than 130 meters, at that time Sardinia and Corsica formed a single large island, separated from Tuscany only by a narrow arm of sea. The oldest remains of Homo sapiens in Sardinia date back to the Upper Paleolithic; their tracks have been found in the central part of Sardinia in the "Corbeddu cave" of Oliena.〔(Paolo Melis - Un approdo della costa di Castelsardo, fra età nuragica e romana )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pre-Nuragic Sardinia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
