The British Isles have been continually settled since 12500 years
ago when hunter-gatherer bands returned in the wake of the
retreating ice sheets. For 7000 years, until the introduction of
farming, people subsisted by hunting wild game and gathering the
fruits of the forest and foreshore. In archaeolgical terms they
belonged to the late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods, and have
hitherto, been studied mainly in terms of their stone tools. Today,
in an age when there is growing concern over the relationship
between human beings and a rapidly changing environment, an earlier
period when this relationship was both intimate and immediate is of
considerable interest. "Late Stone Age Hunters of the British
Isles" places the archaeological evidence - mainly stone tools and
animal bones - within a wider, ecological context. The book
examines aspects of the hunter-gatherer way of life and how it can
be studied from archaeological evidence. There follows a review of
environmental change in the period covered and three chapters of
case studies in which different examples of hunter-gatherer
activity are examined within their ecological context. This book
should be of interest to students a
