"All the relics belong to the old

areas, such as Scotland and Scan
dinavia, were inhabited by Paleo-

during numerous interglacial epochs

cial periods. 1t is also believed
that he used within these areas the

and weapons, of which he had an
extensive kit. In Scotland some
fifty different types of implements
