The history
of the Aeolian islands: a very ancient history
The history of the
Aeolian islands is basically identical to that of the island of
Lipari. The first human settlers came there from Sicily in the
Middle Neolithic period (from the fourth millenim BC), in small
rudimentary boats. They were farmers and stockbreeders and also made
and decorated pottery and were skin flint cutters: they had found
deposits of Obsidian on the island, which was then the most precious
mineral.
