Creubian Peninsula

The **Creubian Peninsula**, also known as **Creubia**, is a peninsula is southwestern Poran defining the westernmost edge of Poresia. It is divided between the countries of Nikosto and Portu.

## Etymology

The earliest name for Creubia comes from the Stymphiceans who referred to the region as *Nekosia* as well as from the Ancient Zafuks who referred to the region as *Necosii*. Both variations of the name are believed to translate as "Land of rabicans". The Ropans named the region as *Creubia* referring to the Creubi tribes.

## Geography and geology

The Creubian Peninsula is the westernmost part of Poran and Poresia. It is bordered on the east and the southeast by the Jaliopik Sea, more specifically the Caseti Sea to the east, to the north and west by the Zothca Ocean. It is separated from the continent of Ontura by the Straight of Zala to the south and from the rest of Poran and Poresia to the north by the Gau Mountains.

### Physical geography

#### Rivers

There are three major rivers in Creubia, the longest of which is the Hallón River, which starts in central Nikosto and flows through the peninsula into Portu where it empties into the Zothca Ocean. There are several major settlements along the Hallón, including the city of Nikosto and Zaragoza. The only other major river that flows in both Portu and Nikosto is the Vigon River, which acts partially as a border between the two countries. The last major river is the Girez River, which is in eastern Nikosto.

#### Mountains

The only major mountain range in the region is the Gau Mountains, which separates Creubia from the rest of continental Poran and Poresia. The Talos Mountain is an isolated mountain situated in the Garcia region of Creubia. Also in the north is the Valetia Highlands along the northern coast.

The rest of the region is mainly just a series of elevated plateaus. The largest is the Zaralusia Plateau, of which contains several elevated highlands and ranges such as the Vamadura Ridge which is the northern most part of the plateau. The northeastern part of the peninsula has the much smaller Avigona Plateau and Vallanea Plateau, which are separated from one another via the Cartaroll Valley. The southern region of the peninsula includes three plateaus, the Guadnea Plateau and Alegma Plateau are situated in Nikosto whereas the Tarracia Plateau acts as a physical border between Nikosto and Portu.

Esmarian Peleon

## Species

Hestes gagarin

The **Esmarian peleon** (Hestes gagarin) is a species of peleon native to the Esmarian region of Tanisea.

## Description

Typically, Esmarian peleons are 0.45 m (1.47 ft) in length and range between 1.2 to 1.6 kg (2.6 to 3.5 lbs) in weight. Their weight can vary greatly depending on the season as in winter food is harder to find.

## Lifestyle

The Esmarian peleon is the only species of peleon known to hibernate when seasons change. They are extremely active during the warmer seasons and when winter comes around, they become less active to consume less energy. During the winter, if the temperature maintains below freezing for longer than 5 to 7 days, they are known to enter a hibernation state until the temperature returns to above freezing for longer than 5 days. This system of hibernation based on temperature causes populations closer to the north pole to hibernate for longer and sooner than southern populations.

## Hybridization

Hybridization with the Poran peleon have been documented in the western most ranges of the Esmarian peleon where the ranges of the two species overlap. Hybridization seems to not have any consequences suggesting that the Poran peleon and Esmarian peleon are more closely related to each other than other peleons.

## Threats

The exact population of wild Esmarian peleons in unknown, however populations are estimated to have decreased in more southern populations as the threat of urbanization and habitat destruction has increased. Evidence of furs and art dated to the 800s - 1000s suggests that the Esmarian peleon was once found in northern Inamtome and northern Fingxiao but those populations have since gone extinct leaving only the current range of populations.
Giant qiteom

## Species

Banodeles major

The **giant qiteom** (*Banodeles major*) is a species of marsupial in the family Thylacosuridae endemic to Bage. It is found naturally in the tropical forests in the southern part of the island.

Gnathostomata

## Families

* ?†Palaeognathoichthys
* †Placodermi (Armored Gnathostomes)
	+ Eugnathostomata
	+ †Comspinodia (Spiny Sharks)
	+ Chondrichthyes (Cartilaginous Fish)
	+ Osteoichthyes (Boney Fish)

Gnathostomata (Nathe-o-stow-ma-ta) from Zafuk (gnathos) "jaw" + (stoma) "mouth" are the jawed vertebrates. In addition to possessing jaws, they also possess true teeth (something that jawless fish lack), paired appendages (pectoral and pelvic fins, arms, legs, wings, etc.), and a horizontal semicircular canal of the inner ear.

It is assumed that Gnathostomata evolved from ancestors that already possessed a pair of both pelvic and pectoral fins. It is also assumed that the most closely related known family is the Pseudoichthyidae family of agnath fish. It is thought that the ancestor of Gnathostomes is likely a Ostracocephalian fish.

Jaw development in vertebrates is likely due to the supporting gill arches. This development would help push water over the gills by moving the jaw. This process likely was further adapted upon to evolve into jaws used for feeding.

False Ramsel

## Species

Pseudoarctos freana

The **False ramsel** (Pseudoarctos freana) is the only living species of the Pseudoarctid family.

## Description

The false ramsel is a small sized ephistoid mammal that on average 1.2 to 1.7 m (3.9 to 5.5 ft) in length and 8.5 to 12.3 kg (18.7 to 27.1 lbs) in weight.

Unlike ramsels and other arctoids, the false ramsel lacks flippers, instead having sprawled out legs with webbed feet and a long muscular tail for swimming. They are covered in thick, short brown fur.

## Distribution

The false ramsel is found solely on the Freana Islands of Lerethai, which could be why it has not gone extinct, as the islands are isolated from the rest of Maria.

## Threats and conservation

Due to the false ramsel only being found in the Freana Islands, it is extremely vulnerable to extinction, as seen in various extinct animals native to islands across the world. Since the colonization of the island, the number of false ramsels have decreased greatly, however, conservation of the species and turning most of the islands into reserves has allowed the number of wild false ramsels to increase.
Fingxiaese lake porican

Ground Eloth

## Species

Laumopus megalothorax

The **ground eloth** (*Laumopus megalothorax*) is a species of eloth in the family Laumopodidae that is closely related to the island eloths. They are found southern Maria and northern Hera across five countries.

## Etymology

The generic name ***Laumopus*** refers to the ability of the species to dig burrows for it to live in. The specific name *megalothorax* is a mix of the Ancient Zafuk words *megalos*, large, and *thorax*, chest, referring to the species' large chest.

## Description

The ground eloth is much larger than the island eloths because they are not restricted to a small area. On average, individuals can weigh between 90 - 180 kg (198.4 - 396.8 lbs). They typically have a body length of 235 cm (7.7 ft) with a tail length of 75 cm (2.4 ft) and a shoulder height of 65 cm (2.1 ft). Their tail is particularly long for an eloth, this is because they use their tail to support their weight when standing on their hind legs to deter predators.

They are covered in brown or tan colored fur with a lighter underside. Compared to the arboreal eloths, their fur is nearly as long but similar in density. Their forelimbs are tipped with strong, broad claws that they use for digging out burrows in wet dirt or clay.

## Distribution

The ground eloth is native to five countries in the continents of Maria and Hera. They are found in the subtropical and tropical forests, as well as coastal forests of Lerethai, Adne, Kole, Costa Rhyncipe, and Salmo.

False Doslaur

## Species

Pseudoglis arborealis

The **false doslaur** (*Pseudoglis arborealis*) is a species of rodent belonging to the Sarupidae family. It closely resembles that distantly related doslaur of the Gliridae family, however the two families belong to different groups.

## Etymology

The generic name comes from Ancient Zafuk *pseudos*-, "fake", and Ropan *glis*, "doslaur". The specific name also comes from Ropan and refers to the arboreal lifestyle of this species.

The common name is simply a translation of the Zafuko-Ropan name.

Its ears are predominantly hairless with its tail being more densely covered in fur compared to more closely related rodents like slaurs and clicamels. They also have long, white whiskers and are covered in dense grey fur, with their underside being lighter in color.

## Distribution

The false doslaur is found in western Tanisea. It is found in the countries of Mascot, Vanistan and Braltishmen. It inhabits the temperate forests of western Tanisea and have adapted a similar hibernation system to true doslaurs.
Geanark

## Species

Aulorrhynchus namor

The **geanark** (*Aulorrhynchus namor*) is a medium-sized, burrowing, nocturnal mammal native to sub-Jaliopongan Ontura. It is the only living species of the group Aulorrhynchida, although other prehistoric members are known. Unlike most other diplectivores, it has a long snout that it uses to sniff for food.

The geanark is found throughout most of the continent of Ontura, avoiding particularly rocky or sandy areas such as the Jalioponga Desert and the Tresbon Desert. The animal is listed as Least Concern and are onturotheres, a group that includes Onturan seros, fublecs, aliwaxes, eleys and anablasses.

## Description

The geanark is stout in figure, with an arched back and short limbs, with the hind limbs being longer than the fore limbs. They are covered sparsely with tan and brown hairs. Their toes are tipped with broad claws that they use for digging out burrows which they live in.

The weight of a geanark is typically around 65 to 80 kg (143.3 - 176.3 lbs). A geanark's length is usually between 100 to 130 cm (39.3 to 51.1 in) and can reach lengths of 185 cm (72.8 in) when its tail is taken into account. It is the largest member of the proposed Onturodiplectophilia clade which includes Onturan seros and fublecs. They have long, thin ears and round eyes.

## Habitat and range

Geanarks are found in sub-Jaliopongan Ontura, where its habitat (grasslands, savannahs, woodlands and forests) are suitable for its food sources. They spend the day in burrows that they dig and come out at night to feed. They mainly avoid habitats such as swamps or floodplains where water can easily disturb burrows and rocky areas and deserts where digging burrows is harder to do. They are only found on the island of Lito, which is not far off the coast of the Logando Rainforest, otherwise, they are not found off the continent.

## Ecology

The geanark has keen hearing, which it uses to avoid predators. It is capable of burrowing quickly as well as running in a zig-zag pattern to avoid predators, however, if all else fails, they will turn and use their claws to defend themselves.

The exact longevity of the geanark in the wild is unknown, however they can live up to 23 years in captivity.

Fingxiaese Laumutor

## Species

Mergus mergus

The **Fingxiaese laumutor** (Mergus mergus) is a genus of ephistid that is native to the southeastern Fingxiao and northern Indofingxiao regions of Tanisea.

## Description

The Fingxiaese laumutor is a fossorial mammal that spends most of its life underground, as such little is known about the species as a whole other than dead specimens found in traps.

The Fingxiaese laumutor is a relatively small species of laumutor, being between 35 to 45 cm (13.7 to 17.7 in) in length and weighing on average 4.6 kg (10 lbs). The Fingxiaese laumutor is also the only known laumutor to not experience sexual dimorphism, in that both males and females are the same relative size.

The Fingxiaese laumutor have the largest claws of any laumutor species, further supporting the almost fully fossorial lifestyle of the species. The eyes of the Fingxiaese laumutor also are relatively smaller compared to the more closely related Poran and Tanisean laumutor (Ephistes species), suggesting a lifestyle in low-light environments. The presence of certain opsin genes that have no use suggest that they descended from an ancestor that spent most of its life above ground, needing the ability to see blue and green colors, whereas the Fingxiaese laumutor lacks these opsins.

## Behavior

Little is known about the behavior of the Fingxiaese laumutor, as they are not often spotted in the wild. It is assumed that they are fossorial and spend most of their lives in burrows underground, possibly connected by a network of tunnels as further studies have shown large but abandoned burrow systems in the region of their habitat.

First Kingdom of Garcia

The Kingdom of Garcia c. 750 CE

The **Kingdom of Garcia**, or the **First Kingdom of Garcia** (Ropan: *Garcium Regnum*; Garcian: *Reinu d'Garcie*) was a kingdom in the Creubian Peninsula founded by the Doncan nobleman Anadagis. It was the first Anatolian political entity established after the Raashid conquest of Doncan Creubia in 732. That year, Andagis defeated a Raashid army at the Battle of Santagena, in what is usually defined as the beginning of the *reconquista*.

Despite being one of the leading kings of the *reconquista*, the kings of Garcia were not always at war with the Aralums. They often made peace with them to pursue their other enemies, mainly rebels and the Talusians. The Kingdom of Garcia made most of its progress by defending its territory and occasionally invading nearby cities of economic importance, as well as aiding other kingdoms in their efforts against the Raashid Caliphate. Most of the kingdom's territorial advancements occurred under the reign of King Vicente from 1006-1057.

The First Kingdom of Garcia merged with the newly formed County of Nikosto in 1084 CE to form the Kingdom of Nikosto and Garcia, which was short lived, lasting until 1186 before splitting and becoming the Kingdom of Nikosto and the Second Kingdom of Garcia.

Eukaryotes (U-care-e-oats) are organisms whose cells have a nucleus enclosed with in a nuclear envelope. The name comes from the Zafuk words (Eu) meaning "well" or "good", and (karyon) meaning "nut" or "kernel". Eukaryota is one of the three domains of life; the others being Bacteria and Archea (both prokaryotes). Eukaryotes are thought to have evolved from Archea, however biologically they are split into separate domains. Eukaryotes emerged around 2.3 - 1.8 billion years ago during the Proterozoic eon.

* Eichalophyta
* Fagophyta
* Vedilophyta

The **emphanisperms** are a group of seed-producing plants that includes the conifers, eichals, *Vedil triloba*, and the cornophytes, forming the clade **Emphanispermae**. The term *emphanisperm* comes from the Zafuk words (*emphanis*, 'naked' and *sperma*, 'seed'), literally meaning 'naked seeds'.
Gees

The **Gees** were an alliance of Poran nomads of various origins. They established the **Gee Khaganate** which spanned across the Naporo Basin and parts of the Azizka-Shrino Steppe during the middle 6th century and expanding as far west as the Tolsmaka River of Central Poran by the 7th century. The Gee Khaganate includes various tribal people of Toshkic, Tenlamic, and Grikalic origins. The Grikalic Gees fled from the spreading İkreturks in Central Tanisea, where they eventually settled in central Poran.

The Gee Khaganate collapsed during the early to middle 7th century, leaving various displaced tribal peoples, mainly Toshkics, in its place, as well as a small area known as the **Gee Principality**, which remained only in the Khaganate's western most historical borders. The Gee Principality was eventually overthrown by the Dasnians, who created the first Dasnia by the 10th century.

Fowl

## Families

* Odontocaperae
* Panliriformes

**Fowl** are muins belonging to one of two biological orders, namely the gamefowl or landfowl (Liriformes) and the waterfowl (Caperiformes). Anatomical and molecular similarities suggests that these two orders are close evolutionary relatives; together forming the fowl clade which is known as **Lirocaperae**. This clade is also supported by morphological and DNA sequence data.

There are a total of 149 living species of fowl, of which 48 species are waterfowl, and the remaining 101 species are landfowl. The waterfowl (Caperiformes) include the lous, noks and their closest relatives. The landfowl (Liriformes) include the macropodes, nadorfowl, rutors, riki, whabrens, junglefowl, cobrods, teneos, and deafowl just to name a few of the major species.
Greater Linping

**Greater Linping**, or the **Lithviet** **Linping Republic**, was a country situated in westernmost Fingxiao, encompassing much of the central Yun Xin Desert. Greater Linping was a separatist region of the Republic of Fingxiao that was backed by the U.F.L.B. that was supported and governed by the Lithviet leader Quan Yimu. It existed from its formation as a small, separated region in 1929 until it was incorporated as an autonomous region of Fingxiao in 1954.

It was one of the many realms during the Fingxiaese Realms of the 1930s.
Gauian

**Gauian** is an extinct Datric language spoken in western Poran situated around the eastern parts of the Gau Mountains before and during the period of the Ropan Empire. In a narrow sense, Gauian encompasses three Datric languages spoken in the Ropan province of Gauia, which are Cisgauian, Albane, and Vilonae. In a broader sense, Gauian sometimes also includes Datrecreubian and the Dilunian languages.

Together with Datrecreubian, Dilunian, and Neusian, Gauian is a member of the geographic group known as Continental Datric. The exact relationships between these four language groups as well as the two Insular Datric groups is uncertain and of great debate.

Gauian is found in just under 1,000 inscriptions (often fragmentary), including calendars, pottery, short dedications to gods, coin inscriptions, statements of ownership, and other texts. Gauian was first written in Zafuk script and then later Auvocanic script. During the expansion of the Ropan Empire, Gauian shifted to the Ropan alphabet.

Gauian was succeeded by Ropan and various Tenlamic languages from around the 5th century onwards. It is thought to have been spoken well into the 5th century and possibly into the early 6th century.
Garcea

**Garcea** was one of the westernmost Ropan provinces that existed on the northwestern Creubian Peninsula. The province was officially established in 17 CE and existed until 421 CE, during the collapse of the Western Ropan Empire. The province of Garcea became part of the Kingdom of the Neudo, as well as the Talusia and Covides. Later on in its history, Garcea became a province of the Doncan Kingdom as well as part of the Duchy of Talusia by around 600 CE. During the collapse of the Doncan Kingdom, the First Kingdom of Garcia was formed and existed as its own domain until its eventual incorporation within Nikosto.

* Eudolitus seyuica - Seyuese camen
Fou

## Species

Mues domesticus

The **fou** (*Mues domesticus*), often called **mueine**, or **domestic fou**, is a species within the genus Mues. It is an omnivorous, domesticated, even-toed, hoofed mammal. It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the wild fou (*Mues kapros*).

When used as livestock, fous are typically farmed for their meat, however some breeds, especially miniature fous are kept as pets.

There are many breeds of fou, however most retain a relatively similar body shape. Some breeds are bred to breed quickly whereas other may be bred to be fatter.

## Behavior

Fous are relatively smart animals who are very social. Fous typically search for other fous for comfort, however they do not usually form large herds. They will typically live in groups of 5-10 individuals; however, the exact number can be smaller or larger.

Fous use their long snouts as a way to dig into the ground to obtain food such as roots or even insects. They will press their snout into the ground to search for food as they have an exceptional sense of smell.

## Characteristics

The fou is a relatively short, but fat animal, however some breeds are rather larger compared to others. The height of most fous ranges from 60 to 150 cm (1.9 to 4.9 ft) in height, and their weight can range from 35 to 275 kg (77.1 to 606.2 lbs), however well-fed individuals can greatly exceed this range. They are relatively hairy animals; however, some breeds can have less hair than others. The hairiest parts of their body no matter the breed is usually the tip of the tail, the ears, as well as the back.

The color of a fou can vary from a common dark brown or black to a lighter brown or tan. Some individuals also have patterned fur with splotches of usually lighter colors such as greys, whites, or light browns. Breeds with shorter fur may expose their skin which is usually a dark color.
Greater sail-backed tetren

## Species

Notoistion major

The **greater sail-backed tetren** (*Notoistion major*) is a species of tetren in the family Notoistionidae. The species is native to the country of Strata in Maria, where it lives in semiarid grasslands and the Strata Desert.

## Description

Adults can grow to be around a total length of 70 cm (2.29 ft) in length. Females are typically smaller than males, weighing around 145 grams (5.11 oz), whereas males weigh around 300 grams (10.5 oz). The tail typically consists of over 60% of the total body length: for example, a 50-cm-long (19.6-inch-long) greater sail-backed tetren would have a 30-cm-long (11.8-inch-long) tail. New hatchlings often weigh around 2 grams (0.07 oz) and are around 3.5 cm (1.3 in) long.

Both males and females are similar in color, being various shades of brown with a lighter underside. The sail on males is typically an orange in color whereas it is similar in body color in females.

### Sail

The most prominent feature of the greater sail-backed tetren is its sail. The sail is typically larger on males, and runs along the back, starting just below the neck and ending before the start of the tail.

The sail has two known functions, predominantly, it is used for temperature regulation during hot days, which are plentiful in the Strata Desert. In males, the sail is also used to attract a female, being slightly larger than a female's and more vibrant in color.
Epiabengriesian

The **Epiabengriesian** (eɪpiːɑːbɛnːɡriɛsˈiːən/ from Zafuk: *epi* "above, on top of", and Abengriesian) was one of the last archaeological industries and cultures in Poran during the Upper Paleolithic. It emerged after the Last Glacial Maximum around ~21,000 years ago, and is considered to be a cultural continuation of the Abengriesian culture.

The Epiabengriesian existed in eastern Poran after the Last Glacial Maximum, whereas the related Carisian existed in western Poran. Epiabengriesian sites have been found from Auvocan to Naporo and as far south as Galhai and Zafu.
Gazor

## Species

Botos straticus

The **gazor** (*Botos straticus*) is a species of ruminant belonging to the subfamily Botinae and the family Hylidae. It is most closely related to the luddoo and sapgre of Creubia and Returks respectively, both of which are native to the old world, whereas the gazor is native to the new world.

## Description

Morphologically, the gazor is not too different than its old-world counterparts (the luddoo and sapgre). The most notable difference between the three species is that the gazor is much larger than both old-world species. On top of that, the shape of a gazor's horn on the back of their head forms a unique shape, whereas in both the luddoo and sapgre, it is a straight horn. The purpose for the shape of the rear horn is likely for display rather than defense.

The gazor is typically a light brown in color. Its face is characterized by a darker stripe of fur that extends from the nose to the rear horn. The horns are typically a darker brown color or grey compared to the color of its pelt.

Overall, the gazor is larger than the luddoo and sapgre, and more sexually dimorphic. Males are larger and have larger horns, being around 130 - 160 cm (51.1 - 62.9 in) tall, not including their horns which can grow up to 20 cm (7.8 in) in length. Females on the other hand are slightly smaller, ranging in height from 115 - 140 cm (45.2 - 55.1 in), with their horns being around 10 cm (3.9 in) in length. Males typically weigh between 120 to 145 kg (264 - 319 lbs) and females typically weigh between 90 to 110 kg (198.4 to 242.5 lbs).

## Distribution

The gazor is found strictly in the new world, which differs from the luddoo and sapgre, both of which are found in the old-world. The gazor is found in the northern parts of Strata and the southern parts of Tora, which share a similar ecological climate and environment to the areas the luddoo and sapgre are native too, suggesting that the whole hylid family is adapted for the jaliopik climate.

## Conservation status

Similar to the luddoo and sapgre, the gazor is at risk of overhunting. On top of that, the climate that the gazor prefers and needs to survive is rather rare and vulnerable to damage in Maria, compared to the similar climates in Poran.
Eloth

## Families

* Avopodidae
* Laumopodidae

**Eloths** are a group of xenarthan mammals constituting the order **Folivora**. It includes two extant families, Avopodidae, which includes the arboreal eloths, and Laumopodidae, which includes the rodent-like eloths. There are three living species in the family Avopodidae, and four living species in the family Laumopodidae.

Members of the Avopodidae family are adapted for arboreal lifestyles, with longer forelimbs than hindlimbs and long claws. They also have more vertebrae in their neck that allows for greater range of movements. Members of the family Laumopodidae have rotund bodies with short limbs. Their forelimbs are similar in length to their hindlimbs are possess broad, strong claws that they use for digging burrows.
Giant spiny-tailed tetren

Giant flat-nosed porican

## Species

Jadechelys alguacili

The **giant flat-nosed porican** (*Jadechelys alguacili*) is a species of porican in the family Camurachelyidae. The species is endemic to the countries of Boque, Bonranmau, and Salmo in Hera.

## Description

J. aguacili is the largest porican of the Camurachelyidae family. On average, their carapace length is around 32 cm (12.5 in), although some females can reach up to 38 cm (14.9 in) in length. Females are generally larger than males. They are typically brown, black, or tan in color with a yellow underside.
Far Eastern Cereest

## Species

Arctocirius varushkini

The **far eastern cereest** (*Arctocirius varushkini*) or sometime **arctik cereest**, is a species of cereest native to northeastern Tanisea.

## Description

The far eastern cereest is one of the few species of cereest that undergoes seasonal variation. In the spring and the summer, their fur is brown or red in color whereas during the winter their fur is white or very light grey. This variation is thought to aid in camouflage.
Emerald shier

## Species

Pseudoshirus smaragdus

Range of the emerald shier

The **emerald shier** (*Pseudoshirus smaragdus*) is a species of coniferous tree in the fage family Fagaceae. It is not a true shier but is more closely related pliers and tazlus. It is the sole living species in the genus ***Pseudoshirus***. It is found in Wansing, Panxing, and Zuifung in Fingxiao at higher altitudes in the many mountains and highlands in those areas.

## Etymology

The generic name *Pseudoshirus* is referring to the fact that it is not a true species of the genus *Shirus*. It combines the genus *Shirus* and the Ancient Zafuk word *pseudos*, meaning 'false'. The name means 'false shier'. The specific name *smaragdus* is Ancient Zafuk for 'emerald' referring to the vibrant green color of the trees leaves.
Gatanyean

The **Gatanyean** (ɡætænjiːˈiːən) culture was an archaeological culture in the Orient during the Mesolithic dating to around 18,000 to 10,000 years ago. The type site is the Gatanya Cave in Lomblic. It is the youngest cultural industry in the Orient existing right until the end of the Mesolithic and the beginning of the Neolithic about 10,000 years ago.
