First attestations about human attendance in Maremma region are during the Lower Palaeolithic, circa 500.000 years ago. In the area of the Park the first signs of human attendance are of 50.000 years ago (Medium Palaeolithic), next to the last ice age (Wurm ice age, 90.000 years ago), and are about the Neanderthal man (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis). In the rock of the Uccellina hills there are various caves, someone near the ground, someone higher and so hard to reach. Some of these caves have many finds, which attest ancient human activities.
