About this book

Humans at the End of the Ice Age chronicles and explores the significance of the variety of cultural responses to the global environmental changes at the last glacial-interglacial boundary. Contributions address the nature and consequences of the global climate changes accompanying the end of the Pleistocene epoch-detailing the nature, speed, and magnitude of the human adaptations that culminated in the development of food production in many parts of the world. The text is aided by vital maps, chronological tables, and charts.

Reviews

`Its significance can scarcely be overstated, and its contribution, in presenting up-to-date regional syntheses and discussions of the key issues, could hardly be more timely...Throughout this volume fascinating and important issues were presented...extremely well edited.'
Antiquity, September 1997

`[An] excellent volume on this important period of time.' Geoarchaeology: An International Journal '

`This book fills a significant gap and makes and important contribution to the literature.'
The Holocene 8, 1998
