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.

Lithic analyses of all kinds have a long history in archaeological
studies. For many years, morphological studies of tool-types and
elaborate discussions of relative chronologies were a primary
focus, but this has changed and the past few decades have witnessed
a steadily growing interest in many other aspects of lithic
studies. The 12 papers in the present volume provide a variety of
perspectives on lithic exploitation patterns in late glacial and
early postglacial Western Europe (from Poland to Portugal). The
book grew from a symposium held at the 59th Annual Meeting of the
Society for American Archaeology held in Anaheim in 1994, and the
editors hope that the volume will stimulate more inter-regional
discussions of data and ideas, as well as general interpretive
problems regarding lithic raw material economy in late glacial and
early postglacial.
