Les Debuts du Paleolithique Superieur dans l'est des Balkans

This volume, subtitled The beginning of the Upper Paleolithic in the East Balkans: A taphonomic and techo-economic analysis of Bacho Kiro (level 11), Temnata (levels VI and 4) and Kozarnika (layer VII), presents a thorough documentation and critical analysis of these three important sites located in northern Bulgaria. The archaeological assemblages studied have been at the core of discussions concerning the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition which witnessed the disappearance of the Neanderthals and the dispersal of the first anatomically modern humans into Europe.
