An archeological site in Jersey, UK has yielded a stash of artefacts from the end of the last Ice Age. The fragments include stone pieces engraved with criss-crossed lines, possibly made over 14,000 years ago. Initial reports determine that these were made by the Magdalenians, a hunter-gatherer culture which gradually re-colonised Europe at the end of the Ice Age, 16,000 to 13,000 years ago.
