Prehistoric tools

This is a remarkable collection for the number and value of its components, which formed the basis of the work that Minà Palumbo published on the human being and his presence on the Madonie, from the Palaeolithic onwards. Minà Palumbo was, in fact, one of the greatest scholars of the Sicilian prehistory. As concerning the Madonie, its data are still the main documentary sources. In one room there are some prehistoric tools, weapons and coins collected in various locations. A manuscript entitled “Palaeontology of the
stone weapons collected in Sicily” is of a particular interest, in support to the exhibits.
