The term 'Mesolithic' was born in the nineteenth century from the
need to label a 'hiatus' period and was not generally accepted as a
useful term by many scholars until around fifty years later. It has
been championed by some, but still concerns others because of the
difficulty of defining what it represents. This volume highlights
the enthusiasm for Mesolithic studies in the 21st century and the
feeling that there is a need to explore the many facets of
Mesolithic lifeways. Approaches are now moving away from the
traditional Mesolithic canon that seems to have been based on a
particular set of biological and/or ecological perspectives and are
now looking for new directions and new theoretical arenas which can
only help stimulate Mesolithic debate. The papers in this volume
take a range of approaches to a period that has largely been devoid
of explicit theoretical discussion. They deconstruct and explore a
broad variety of subjects, including mobility, complexity,
seasonality, death & burial, gender & sexuality, social
relations, music, human agency, ethnoarchaeology and emotion.
