ISBN: 9780199299171 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cave art is a subject of perennial interest among archaeologists.

The discoverers (the editors of the book) brought together in 2004 a number of Palaeolithic archaeologists and rock art specialists from...
