HISTORY
The Netherlands has been inhabited since the last ice age, the oldest remains found are older than 100,000 years. During the last glaciation, the country had a tundra climate with very little vegetation. Its first inhabitants were hunter-gatherers. At the end of the Ice Age, the area was inhabited by several groups Paleolithic. One group even built canoes (Pesse, to 9000. C.) and after that, about 8000. C., a Mesolithic tribe resided near Bergumermeer (Friesland).
Agriculture came to the Netherlands to the year 5000. C., through linear pottery culture (probably from the farms of central Europe), but was only practiced in the plains of the southern tip of the country (South Limburg).
