Rookmaaker MAP 36 UNICORNIS Protohistorical

Map showing the Protohistorical distribution of Rhinoceros unicornis. The three regions in purple represent the known records of the early period from the start of the Holocene (11,700 years before present). The two regions in light red represent historical records from 1500 CE, as in the map of the Historical distribution of the species. The records exclude any fossil occurrences of the Pleistocene and before.
