Juniper Fuse: Upper Paleolithic Imagination & the Construction of the Underworld
Clayton Eshleman

Wesleyan, 2003

For over thirty years, Clayton Eshleman has studied the Ice Age cave art of southwestern France--Juniper Fuse is the culmination of this work. Named after the primitive hand lamp wicks used to light cave walls, the book, in Ronald Gottesman's words, is "a fabulous three-dimensional tapestry of scholarship. Original and intense, it poses serious questions about human nature and its relation to the animal and natural worlds." Juniper Fuse is also ...

sound advice
i've read a lot of crazy things both for and against the so called "cave man" diet. some would say its an unfounded fad diet from the 80's. on the other side you have cave man diet websites telling you beans and potatoes are toxic. this book isn't either. i feel its a sound, well reasoned look at diet from a different perspective. the basic premise is to look at the foods man's body evolved ...

Two Planks and a Passion: The Dramatic History of Skiing from Paleolithic Times Until Today
Roland Huntford

Continuum, 2008

Roland Huntford's brilliant history begins 20,000 years ago in the last ice age on the icy tundra of an unformed earth. Man is a traveling animal, and on these icy slopes skiing began as a means of survival.That it has developed into the leisure and sporting pursuit of choice by so much of the globe bears testament ...

The Nature of Paleolithic Art

R. Dale Guthrie

University Of Chicago Press, 2006

Its the Story of "Us"
Every once in a while, a book comes along with the potential to change the way we fundamentally view ourselves as humans and our place in the natural world. Guthrie has written just such a book. Drawing upon forty-plus years as a biologist, observer, and synthesizer of patterns in nature and in human culture, Guthrie weaves a profound thesis about the latter stages of human evolution, starting ...

J. E. Scott-Jackson

Oxbow Books Ltd, 2000

"Clay-with-flints" refers to deposits lying on the hilltops and plateaux of the Chalk Downlands of southern England. This study is based on the archaeology, geology and sedimentology of these deposits and forms a comprehensive review of the Palaeolithic stone tools found embedded within them. Evidence relating to the author's excavations at the Lower Palaeolithic site of Wood Hill in East Kent (1993-1994) provides the foundation for her ...

The Dawn of Belief: Religion in the Upper Paleolithic of Southwestern Europe

1 review
D. Bruce Dickson

University of Arizona Press, 1992

Interesting and well presented
I found this work to be extremely interesting. There seem to be precious few other works available that address the spirituality of our paleolithic ancestors in such depth. As a student of history I believe this book is a valuable addition to my bookcase and a good reference work for anyone doing their own research on the spiritual paths of early man.

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2002

Simulated Excavation: Great Idea, Poor Implementation
Any introductory archaeology class should have a lab or lablike simulation. This book represents a good idea--simulate an actual excavation--but the book and CD program are pitched well beyond the introductory level. The book and program simulate an actual excavation at a Middle Paleolithic site called Combe-Capelle in southern France, not far from Le Moustier, which gave the Mousterian tool ...

The Great Goddess: Reverence of the Divine Feminine from the Paleolithic to the Present

2 reviews
Jean Markale

Inner Traditions, 1999

Well worth the reading effort
This is a book that I bought after reading Markale's previous book Women of the Celts. I have to admit first that it was dry in some areas but picked up in others. Much of his focus is from a scholarly level and he focuses mostly on the many images of the Feminine Divine in both Art and sculputer. The purpose of his book I believe is to show that while the image and focus of the Goddess ...

Michael Chazan, Liora Kolska Horwitz

Excavations at the open-air site of Holon, Israel, have provided a unique perspective on hominin behavior, technology, and subsistence strategies in the Middle East at the end of the Lower Paleolithic. This excavation, carried out by Tamar Noy between 1963 and 1970, was one of the first successful salvage projects in the region. This ASPR volume is the first integrated monograph on a Lower Paleolithic site to be published from the region. It ...
