Description
This collection of papers was compiled in celebration of the remarkable academic career of Professor Wil Roebroeks, who has established himself as one of Europe's leading figures in Palaeolithic archaeology over the past three decades and founded the Human origins research group at Leiden University. The volume features a diverse array of chapters contributed by close colleagues, as well as former and current students, providing a thorough overview of the flourishing field of Palaeolithic archaeology both at Leiden University and beyond its academic walls. Among the studies presented, several focus on the landmark site of Maastricht-Belvédère, which was initially excavated under the direction of Roebroeks. The detailed analyses offered within these chapters shed light on Neanderthal behaviour, providing an exceptionally high-resolution view of their activities and adaptations. Additional contributions explore broader themes in human prehistory, delving into Neanderthal land-use strategies, their sophisticated management of fire, and aspects of modern human subsistence practices, including the use of shelters and living spaces.
This volume will be of great interest to archaeologists specializing in hunter-gatherer studies, Pleistocene archaeology, or those with a more general interest in human prehistory and the behaviours of early hominin species.
