Episode 3: Making the Middle Palaeolithic

In this episode we move into the Middle Palaeolithic, looking at how life changed in the Near East after about 215 thousand years ago. Changes in the way that people moved around, particularly a change to the use of caves for camps or base-camps means that we are starting to get more information about the structure of daily life in the past, at least compared with what we know from the Lower Palaeolithic. Have a listen to this first look at what we know about life in the Middle Palaeolithic, and come listen next week when we take a more detailed look at some of the people who called the Near East home during this period.
