Krems-Hundssteig-Mammutjaeger der Eiszeit: Ein Nutzungsareal paläolithischer Jäger- und Sammler(innen) vor 41.00027.000 Jahren
by Christine Neugebauer-Maresch
In the course of mining for loess, around 1900 large numbers of Palaeolithic artefacts were found at the so-called Hundssteig in Krems. These were evaluated as being 35,000-year-old Aurignacian relics.
A century later, a large-scale construction project threatened to destroy the intact Palaeolithic layers just south of the former loess mining area. For this reason, the Prehistoric Commission of the Austrian Academy of Sciences carried out ...

Warfare in the Austrian Weinviertel during the Early Bronze Age
by Susanne Weinberger
This study seeks to present a comprehensive analysis of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of warfare during the Early Bronze Age (2300/2200 B.C. until 1500 B.C.) in the Weinviertel region of northeastern Austria. This period saw the first use of bronze for jewellery, weapons, tools and special-purpose money. The production and distribution of the raw materials needed for bronze and of finished copper and bronze products were connected to ...

Art as Metaphor: The Prehistoric Rock-art of Britain
edited by Aron Mazel, George Nash, and Clive Waddington
Enigmatic, esoteric and fascinating, the rock-art of the British Isles has for a long time been a well kept secret at home and abroad. However, dedicated work by rock-art researchers over the last few decades has seen the discovery of hundreds of new panels and the publication of several high quality regional surveys and numerous survey reports and academic articles, and the creation of a highly successful world-class website on Northumberland ...

Beyond the Site: The Saalian Archaeological Record at Maastricht-Belvédère, The Netherlands
by Dimitri De Loecker
Between 1980 and 1990, the former Belvédère gravel- and loess pit was given specific attention due to the discovery of in situ Middle Palaeolithic artefacts and faunal remains, in the Saalian and Weichselian strata. These discoveries led to further, systematic excavation of the site by Leiden University, resulting in the documentation of a number of areas where Middle Palaeolithic foragers discarded their flint tools. This book ...

Le Dernier Interglaciaire et les occupations humaines du Paleolithique moyen
edited by Alain Tuffreau and Wil Roebroeks
This volume is the outcome of a workshop dedicated to the geology and archaeology of the last interglacial, oxygen isotope stage 5e. The authors address various aspects of the fossil record of this warm-temperate stage, which was for a long time considered to be a good analogue for our current interglacial. This volume shows, not unexpectedly, that this assumption is not correct, and that within the no-analogue environments of the Eemian humans ...

Early Riders: Beginnings of Mounted Warfare
by Robert Drews
In this wide-ranging and often controversial book, Robert Drews examines the question of the origins of man's relations with the horse. He questions the belief that on the Eurasian steppe men were riding in battle as early as 4000 BC, and suggests that it was not until around 900 BC that men anywhere - whether in the Near East and the Aegean or on the steppes of Asia - were proficient enough to handle a bow, sword or spear while on horseback. ...

Mujeres y Hombres en Espacios Domesticos
by Pedro V. Castro-Martinez
The `Alpha' Building at Puig Morter in Son Ferragut (Sineu, Mallorca, Spain) is one of the few domestic spaces from Mallorcan prehistory to have been explored in detail. Analysis of material remains from this archaeological site, and from other contemporaneous contexts, have led to the definition of an historical moment named the Son Ferragut Horizon by the authors of this monograph, who examine the social relations that existed at the time. The ...
