"The span of man's existence as a Stone Age hunter and gatherer was the longest in his whole history of physical and cultural development. The surviving material evidence however, is minimal compared with that for later periods. The influence of climate and environment in this period was particularly strong, so that its proper study involves the co~operation of archaeologist, geologist, zoologist, botanist and physicist. British developments in the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods have in the past been treated as a simple extension of continental culture. This book emphasises the differences occasioned by the geographical separation of Britain and Ireland from the rest of Europe. Extensively illustrated with distribution maps, chronological and cultural charts and diagrams, and a selection of artifacts from the relevant periods, the book concludes with a comprehensive bibliography allowing more detailed study of individual periods or cultures.
