Le Msolithique / The Mesolithic

This volume presents thirteen papers from three symposia held at the XIVth UISPP Congress held at the University of Liege in 2001. These symposia focused on Landscape use during the final Palaeolithic and Mesolithic in north west Europe: the formation of extensive sites and site-complexes'; Late foragers and early farmers of the Lepenski Vir-Schela Cladovei Culture in the Iron Gates Gorge'; Intrusive farmers or indigeneous foragers: the new debate about the ethnolinguistic origins of Europe'. A further twelve papers, from a general session, discuss Palaeolithic and Mesolithic evidence from across Europe. These include reports on an Epipalaeolithic rabbit-skinning cave, Mesolithic skeletons and the cultures of France, southern Ukraine, north-eastern Europe and the Mediterranean. Two posters conclude the proceedings. Six contributions in French, the rest in English.
