Thinking Mesolithic (ENG)

This is archaeology as it used to be done; archaeology on a grand scale.' (C. R. Wickham-Jones Antiquity, Vol. 84, No. 324, June 2010) In general, this is an excellent book that shows the evolution of one scholar’s views over time, as well as how our ideas about the Mesolithic have changed. This is truly a magnum opus, and quite an achievement, for which Kozlowski should be thanked. The numerous line drawings and maps bring us into the Mesolithic world, and remind us that postglacial hunter-gatherers in Europe had a new and varied lifestyle.' (Pamela R. Willoughby Paleoanthropology, 2011) Thinking Mesolithic is an outstanding reference work suitable for Mesolithic scholars or advanced undergraduate/graduate students working on building a techno-typological view of Mesolithic Europe... [It] reflects the depth and breadth of the author’s knowledge and his contributions to a greater understanding of the European Mesolithic techno-complex... The historical perspective and level of detail presented in this volume provides a concrete road map for where the investigation and interpretation of the Mesolithic period has come and where it is going in the future.'
