During the iciest Pleistocene, Sicily remained an isle of beech, oak, and maple. These results come from a burial cave, near Sweetwater (Acquedolci). That cave, in 1947 Paolo Graziosi mooted was a caveman cave first. Graziosi was right: 14500 BC, late Evolved Epigravettian.
By "Epigravettian" they imply: from Italy, not Africa. I don't think there was a natural causeway but Solutreans over in Spain, perhaps-infamously, could boat. Looks like the Epigravettians learnt how.
BACKDATE 5/13 b/c article, like the Thetford article, is April. Archaeology (the source for both) is gettin' slow on reportage.
