Studies of the Middle Palaeolithic in Northwestern Greece have relied heavily on evidence from rockshelter sites and a single open-air site, Asprochaliko. Papagianni's study aims to redress this and focuses on lithic assemblages recovered from open-air sites in the Epirus and Corfu areas. The results of her analysis are used to make inferences on industrial variability, regional adaptations, technological developments and, ultimately, the human baehaviour associated with these.

In this important volume, Dimitra Papagianni and Michael A. Morse compile the first full chronological narrative of the Neanderthals' dramatic existence--from their evolution in Europe to their expansion to Siberia, their subsequent extinction, and ultimately their revival in popular novels, cartoons, cult movies, and television commercials.

This volume explores long-term behavioural patterns and processes of change in hunter-gatherer societies from the Lower Palaeolithic to the present. In doing so, this volume questions the disciplinary distinctions between fine and coarse-grain understandings of hunter-gatherer societies in anthropology and archaeology and challenges the perception that these distinctions are inherent to the two disciplines. The volume brings together studies that specifically address long-term behavioural patterns in hunter-gatherer societies past and present. Some of the contributors also combine...
