In the Grotta dei Colombi objects of the Palaeolithic age have been found.
The fully authenticated remains of palaeolithic man are few, and discoveries are confined to certain areas, e.g.
The first actual find of a palaeolithic implement was that of a rudely fashioned flint in a sandbank at Menchecourt in 1841 by Boucher de Perthes.
The pictorial art of the Tasmanians was poor and childish, quite below that of the Palaeolithic men of Europe.
The study of the prehistoric population of Finland - Neolithic (no Palaeolithic finds have yet been made) - of the Age of Bronze and the Iron Age has been carried on with great zeal.
