Mesolithic (from the Greek meso=middle lithic=stone) is the period of transition between the [[palaeolithic]] and [[neolithic]], especially in [[Europe]], where it falls between the end of the last [[glacial period]] (mid-9th millenium BC) and the beginnings of [[agriculture]], i.e. neolithic. The period is characterized by the use of monoliths and the first [[domestication of animals]].
