This edited book aims to provide a new perspective on the identification
and interpretation of short-term occupations in Paleolithic Archaeology.
The volume includes contributions with a particular focus on the
definition and identification of short-term occupations in Paleolithic
contexts, aiming to improve our current knowledge on the topic, both
methodologically and interpretatively. The set of chapters coming from a
broad spectrum of geographies and chronologies will contribute to the
debate on the definition of short-term occupations but also to a better
understanding on how past hunter-gatherers communities adapted and moved
in different environmental contexts across time.
The in-depth examinations of short-term occupations in different
chronologies and environments will shed light on an aspect of the
behavioral trajectories of the human species in the management of the
territory.
