This study, based on the author's thesis, studies and compares the lithic assemblages of two Upper Palaeolithic sites in Central Europe: Dolni Vestonice and Willendorf. More especially it discusses the means by which these assemblages have been classified and the issues and problems surrounding the use of typologies. Silvia Tomaskova argues that applying standardised labels to the prehistoric material fails to adequately describe it and that often these labels are used, not just to organise the material, but to interpret it as well. A history of the two sites and their investigation preceeds...

In order to understand fully Plio-Pleistocene hominid migrations, a whole gamut of interacting factors must be examined. It has been hypothesised that the most important variables affecting hominid migrations out of Africa would have been environmental, since in most respects hominids would have acted in the same manner as any other large land mammal of the time. For this work, therefore, as far as language barriers permitted, as many published sources as could be traced from palynological and palaeontological sites from the Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene within east and northern Africa...

This volume comprises a long-awaited study of metallurgy and metal-production in Spain and Portugal from the Chalcolithic to Roman times. It brings together evidence from more than 120 sites, combining archaeological evidence with re-assessments of previous metallurgical research, new analysis and previously unpublished material.

New Approaches to the Study of Early Upper Paleolithic 'Transitional' Industries in Western Eurasia Aedited by Julien Riel-Salvatore and Geoffrey A. Clark This volume comprises essays first presented in the symposium Upper Paleolithic Transitional Industries: New Questions, New Methods on March 21, 2002, at the 67th annual meetings of the Society for American Archaeology. The essays look at the transition between Middle and Upper Palaeolithic, the industries that characterise this transition, and the transition between neanderthals and antomically modern humans.

A more detailed picture of prehistoric sequences in the southwest has emerged over the past few years through the work of new field projects. Although this work is still in its infancy, this volume addresses one of the key questions which must be addressed throughout this and future research, namely the development and identification of inequalities within the archaeological record. More specifically this study presents the first synthesis of material in the region of Sierra de Huelva, c.2500-750 BC, combining theoretical concepts and suppositions with an attempt to investigate them through...
