The period between 9640 BC and the neolithic is roughly 4000

of europe, nothing is happening in the begining of the period.

1. Glacier remain over the NW and N expanses.

2. Production is relatively low, the animals that exist tended
to migrate over long distances and are widely dispersed.

Widely dispersed? Never heard of animals
(Reindeer, Deer) living in herds, migrating
the same routes from summer grazing grounds
to winter grazing grounds and back?

This means that they are not concentrated in one single
site suitable for year round hunting.

Do you know anything about Reindeer/Caribou and their hunters?
