Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Taking as its central theme the issue of whether early Hominins
organized themselves into societies as we understand them, John
McNabb looks at how modern researchers recognize such
archaeological cultures. He examines the existence of a stone tool
culture called the Clactonian to introduce the multidisciplinary
nature of the subject.
In analyzing the various kinds of data archaeologists would use
to investigate the existence of a Palaeolithic culture, this book
represents the latest research in archaeology, population
dispersals, geology, climatology, human palaeontoloty, evolutionary
psychology, environmental and biological disciplines and dating
techniques, along with many other research methods.
When was the human threshold crossed? What is the evidence for
evolving humans and their emerging humanity? This volume explores
in a global overview the archaeology of the Middle Pleistocene,
800,000 to 130,000 years ago when evidence for innovative cultural
behaviour appeared. The evidence shows that the threshold was
crossed slowly, by a variety of human ancestors, and was not
confined to one part of the Old World. Crossing the Human Threshold
examines the changing evidence during this period for the use of
place, landscape and technology. It focuses on the emergence of
persistent places, and associated developments in tool use, hunting
strategies and the control of fire, represented across the Old
World by deeply stratified cave sites. These include the most
important sites for the archaeology of human origins in the Levant,
South Africa, Asia and Europe, presented here as evidence for
innovation in landscape-thinking during the Middle Pleistocene. The
volume also examines persistence at open locales through a
cutting-edge review of the archaeology of Northern France and
England. Crossing the Human Threshold is for the worldwide
community of students and researchers studying early hominins and
human evolution. It presents new archaeological data. It frames the
evidence within current debates to understand the differences and
similarities between ourselves and our ancient ancestors.

analysis of the lithic assemblages recovered. This report describes
the lithic assemblages associated with the sedimentological column
for the Canteen Koppie site. The assemblages represent the first
controlled excavations in this world famous locality.
This volume represents the efforts of a significant collaborative
project and provides a completely up-to-date interpretation of the
Cave of Hearths (Makapan Cave Valley, Limpopo Province, South
Africa), which has played a key role in furthering knowledge of
hominin prehistory and evolution in southern Africa. This work
provides new analyses and interpretations of this important site
and its archaeology, geology and palaeontology.
