Details
Drawing on archaeological data from recent excavations at Verberie and in the Paris basin, this book aims to shed life on domestic life during the Upper Palaeolithic. The first group of essays and reports look at the technology and demographic evidences of domesticity; the second set seeks clues to the spatial patterning of Paleolithic households; while the final essays draw on ethnographic analogies to reconstruct and interpret gendered divisions of labour, perishable technologies, and other activities not directly recognizable from archaeological remains.
