 | | Numerous Polish Jews emigrated to Western Europe, founding Jewish communities in places where they had been expelled from during the Middle Ages. | | | Hitler's ideological foes were the Communists in Russia but because of the German failure to defeat Britain and the Italian failures in North Africa and the Mediterranean the Axis forces were split between garrisoning western Europe and Scandinavia and also attacking Africa. | | | Central Europe was already split between Eastern and Western Christianity. |

| | PREHISTORIC SHELLFISH GATHERING |
| | Fitzhugh (1970) argued that the rising sea levels created sheltered harbours and ideal grounds for shellfishing and fishing which had been largely unavailable before. | | | Still others have argued that population pressure forced some groups to draw increasingly on the resources of the coast and sea (e.g. | | | This has been an archaeological talking point over the last few decades - why did people start intensively exploiting marine resources at this time? |

| | 'Venus' Figurines in Prehistoric Europe |
| | This earth-based totemic worldview is seen to be reflected in the ethnographic record and it has been stated that the archaeological findings pertaining to the Upper Palaeolithic religious life revolve around the shaman, who “vigorously and directly sought to confront the spirit world in ecstatic encounters” (Dickson, 1990:215). | | | Modern archaeological interpretations often dispute earlier ‘classical’ theories and according to Bailey (1983:166) these modern approaches predominantly fall into two categorical perspectives of either ‘internalistic’ or ‘environmentalist’ (Cited in Dickson, 1990:137). | | | Such perspectives, which favour an interpretation of early prehistoric art (both cave art and mobiliary art) as an expansion of shamanic religious practice are also central to the views of Andreas Lommel, who further supports such elucidations (1967, cited in Dickson, 1990: 129-136). |

| | Prehistoric mummies unearthed in Hebrides |
| | We had never expected to find evidence for mummification in prehistoric Europe. | | | This find is therefore a complete revelation." The discovery may also help to explain why some 15 million Bronze Age bodies are missing according to funerary evidence. | | | Mummification was practised by prehistoric Britons, according to a discovery made by archeologists from Sheffield University who have found the skeletal remains of two mummies buried under the floor of a 3,000-year-old house on the Hebridean island of South Uist. |
