Case 12
This is lithic handiwork case. These finds represent the sole witness (owing to the lack of fossils) of human presence in the Upper Valdarno in the third sedimentation phase. There are various handicrafts which date back to different epochs among which an amygdala and many dart tops are certainly the most impressive. The case is completed by some explanation boards which illustrate the procedure of rock working adopted by primitive man.
Before the exit, we can admire several pictures that were used by Professor Alessandro Sacconi to shoot the documentary entitled “Once upon a time there was a lake”, where the geological history of the Upper Valdarno is summarised from its formation till the appearance of man. BIBLIOGRAPHY
