The Earliest Europeans explores a fundamental question: how did
Europe's first hominin occupants cope with the year-round practical
challenges of life. To do so, the book adopts a 'year in the life'
perspective that draws on the increasingly rich and robust
archaeological and Quaternary Science records for the European
Lower Palaeolithic, combined with insights from modern ethnography
and zoological studies. By exploring potential survival strategies
and behaviours, Hosfield offers new insights into the character of
Europe's earliest occupations across more than 1 million years, and
ultimately asks: what sorts of 'humans' were these hominins? The
innovative season-by-season structure of the book explores cyclical
fluctuations in resources and weather conditions. From the depths
of cold winters to the bountiful foods of late summer, it considers
the implications of these variations for hominin behaviours.
Hosfield draws on a range of supporting examples and evidence from
Lower Palaeolithic sites across Europe, spanning technology,
palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, hominin life history, and
plant and animal food resources. In doing so, The Earliest
Europeans highlights both the current and future potential of
Europe's earliest archaeological record.
