Lithic Raw Material Economies in Late Glacial and Early Postglacial Europe

Lithic assemblages have always been an important source of information, sometimes the only source, on human activities in Late Glacial and Early Postglacial Europe. These twelve papers, some of which were given at the 59th Annual SAA meeting in Arnheim in 1994 (here revised) present comparative lithic material from across Europe. With case studies from Poland, Germany, Belgium, France, Spain and Portugal, the contributors look at the procurement of lithic raw materials, mobility patterns, territorial organisation, inter-group communication and exploitation of natural resources.
