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...

This work enumerates and discusses the various iconographic elements borne by the two main Aztec (15th and 16th centuries) variants of Tlaltecuhtli (the anthropomorphic version of the Aztec earth) so as to elucidate their meanings and symbolism. It also compiles not only the arguments and sources relevant to studies of Tlaltecuhtli, but also, for the first time, all known published images of the deity. The end result demonstrates that not only were there two main Tlaltecuhtli variants, but that the first of these was female and the second male. The author focuses specifically on...

Building on a re-assessment of the major Aurignacian sequences found in central Europe and the Balkans, this book picks up the trail of the earliest anatomically modern humans across Europe. The analysis of the lithic productions from Geissenklosterle in Germany, Willendorf and Krems in Austria and Bacho Kiro in Bulgaria provides the basis for a discussion about the unity and variability of the initial stages of this cultural complex, equated with the beginning of the Upper Palaeolithic.
