The cave site of Mladec in the Czech Republic contains modern human
remains, Mladec-type projectile points and other artifacts in a European
site that would otherwise be assigned to the Aurignacian period of

Historians are left forever chasing shadows, painfully aware of their
inability ever to reconstruct a dead world in its comopleteness however
thorough or revealing their documentation. We are doomed to be forever
hailing someone who has just gone around the corner and out of earshot.
- Simon Schama
