This ancient race is proved by the remains to have been pastoral, rather than dependent on the chase, their principal food being the domestic goat, the short-horn (_Bos longifrons_), the horse, and hog. They are also proved to have been neolithic, not merely by the discovery of a polished stone axe in one of the caves, but also by the shape of the “gallery graves,” which Professor Nilsson and Dr. Thurnam agree in referring to that stage of culture. _Table of Contents of Caves and Chambered Tomb._ The contents of the caves and the stone chambers may be gathered from the Table which we give on the next page. The broken bones of the hare prove that there was no prejudice against its flesh, as was the case among the neolithic dwellers in the Swiss Pfahlbauten. We shall see in the next chapter that the animal was also eaten by the dwellers in the neolithic caves both of France and Belgium. _List of Objects in Neolithic Caves and Cairn in North Wales._ Column-heading Key: A Refuse-heap, Perthi-Chwareu.
