This book was released on 2020-06-12 with total page 847 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its development in 1949, radiocarbon dating has increasingly been used in prehistoric research in order to get a better grip on the chronology of sites, cultures and environmental changes. Refinement of the dating, sampling and calibration methods has continuously created new and challenging perspectives for absolute dating. In these proceedings the focus lies on the contribution of carbon-14 dates in current Mesolithic research in North-West Europe. Altogether 40 papers dealing with radiocarbon dates from 15 different countries are presented. Major themes are the typo-technological evolution of lithic and bone industries, changes in settlement patterns, burial practices, demography and subsistence, human impact on the Mesolithic environment and the neolithisation process. Some papers also deal with more methodological aspects of carbon-14 dating (e.g. calculation of various reservoir effects, the use of cumulative calibrated probability distributions), and related techniques (e.g. stable isotope analysis for palaeodiet reconstruction).

Book excerpt: The award winning British graphic novel comes to the US. 10,000 years ago, the Kansa tribe live on the eastern shores of Stone Age Britain, where danger is never far away. Each season brings new adventures, each hunt has its risks, and each grim encounter with the neighbouring tribe is fraught with threat. Poika, a boy on the verge of manhood, must trust the wisdom of his elders and endure life's rites of passage as he finds his place in the tribe. MeZolith is a graphic novel for older children and adults, written by a world-renowned performance storyteller, with extraordinarily immersive illustrations by one of Britain's top film concept artists. Set in what is now North East Yorkshire, before Britain became an island, stories of one tribe's daily struggle for survival are seamlessly interwoven with some of humankind's most ancient myths, fairytales, and legends. Grounded in detailed archaeological research, this is a book of action and adventure, horror and magic, dreams and nightmares.
