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.

The Stone Age prehistory of northern Spain is one of the richest and most significant in the world, extending at least 100,000 years into the past. With adjacent regions in France, this mountainous region has one of the most complete records in Europe for hominid occupation, including spectacular cave art sanctuaries like Altamira and El Castillo. Iberia before the Iberians is the first book since 1924 (in any language) to present a complete synthesis of Cantabrian prehistory. Written from an ecological and functional perspective, the book traces the evolution of human responses to widely varying physical and demographic environments. It provides up-to-date information on sites, chronology, art, and artifacts, from the Lower Paleolithic through the Neolithic, along with standardized tables and site maps for each period.
The involvement of American archaeologists in the study of Palaeolithic Europe should be viewed as viable, helpful and challenging, and not regarded with suspicion or as interference - so states Lawrence Straus. These eleven papers, written by scholars renowned on both sides of the Atlantic, are taken from the XIVth Congress held at the University of Liege in 2001. With a broad range of backgrounds, opinions and experiences, the contributors bring unique and diverse perspectives to bear on the issue of the relationship between American and European archaeology and archaeologists. Conributors: L G Strauss, N F Bicho, H M Bricker, G A Clark, F B Harrold, J K Kozlowski, M Otte, M Street, M N Haidle, J Svobada, R White .
