The World Archaeological Congress meetings in Southampton in September 1986 included a series of sessions on the problems of Pleistocene archaeology. The chapters in this book derive from some of those discussions. In particular, this volume focuses on the problems facing prehistorians and palaeoanthropologists when trying to understand the long-term evolution of human behaviour and the patterns observable in the fossil and archaeological record of a period of time stretching over several million years.

A collection of writings by Generalfeldmarschall Alfred Graf von Schlieffen, one of Imperial Germany's more intriguing figures.

This volume explores the diverse ways in which the evolution of human behaviour can be investigated, and confronts the most challenging aspects of the subject.
