This volume focuses on the evidence from the Middle Paleolithic, assessing it in its own right rather than looking at it for signs of the development of 'modern humans' as they become recognisable in the subsequent Upper Paleolithic period. It provides useful regional reviews of the evidence from different regions of Europe. It is the second of three volumes on the phases of the Paleololithic being sponsored by the European Science Foundation. . Contents: The Middle Paleololithic - a point of inflection ; Environments and settlements in the Iberian peninsula ; The Neanderthals in Italy ; Environment and adaptations in Eastern central Europe ; The Middle Palaeolithic of Quercy ; The Middle Paleolithic of the Aquitaine Basin ; The Northwest European Middle Paleolithic ; Hominids without homes - The Nature of Middle Palaeolithic settlement in Europe ; Surface scatters from Southern Limburg, the Netherlands ; Raw Material Transport Patterns ; The Faunal Record of the Lower and Middle Palaeolithic of Europe .
