Extremely little is known about Urcea prior to the rise of the [[Gaelic people]] within its lands. Before the arrival of the Gaelic peoples in Urcea, the region was inhabited by what was likely a large number of different pre-agricultural groups. These groups were primarily hunter-gatherers, and relied on hunting, gathering, and fishing for their sustenance. They lived in small, mobile groups, and did not have permanent settlements, although the archaeological record suggests that some seasonal locations saw continued use by multiple peoples throughout the prehistoric period.

The earliest known material culture in the region of Urcea is the Felandri culture, which is associated with Neanderthal peoples. This culture is characterized by the use of stone tools, and is believed to have existed in the region from around 100,000 BC to 40,000 BC. After the Felandri culture, the region was inhabited by a number of other pre-agricultural cultures. The Murdla culture, which is associated with anatomically modern humans, is thought to have existed in the region from around 40,000 BC to 28,000 BC. This culture is known for its sophisticated stone tools and cave art. Later, the region was inhabited by the Pamattan culture, which is thought to have existed from around 28,000 BC to 21,000 BC. This culture is known for its advanced hunting techniques, including the use of the atlatl, a spear-throwing device.
