East European Plain on the Eve of Agriculture - Paperback

by Pavel M. Dolukhanov (Editor), Graeme R. Sarson (Editor), Anvar M. Shukurov (Editor)

This volume deals with the prehistoric human groups and their environments that occurred during the early and middle Holocene (roughly 10 - 6 thousand years before present) in a huge segment of the Eurasian continent forming the East European Plain, which predated the early manifestations of food-producing economies: agriculture and stock-rearing. In archaeological terms widely accepted in the West, this period corresponds to the Mesolithic, panoply of hunter-gathering communities that evolved in the aftermath of the Last Ice Age.
