These transitional times are not "set in stone" since new archaeological evidence can move these transition dates significantly.

This sourcebook addresses the different transitional processes by examinating the nature and extent of behavioural changs, cultural patterns and differences that have been attributed to them. It brings together a global body of research and compares differing theoretical perspectives on the transitions - not only to compare and discuss results from...Похожие книги
