Opplysninger | "Mesolithic research has undergone a series of important transformations over the past several decades, making it one of the most dynamic and prolific fields of archaeology today. The handbook captures our ambition to demonstrate the plurality of perspectives and developments in Mesolithic research, combining theoretically new and innovative questions strongly valuing the methodological connection to the empirical record, while also incorporating interpretative approaches connecting the empirical record to knowledge drawn from cultural theory and the ethnography of hunter-gatherers. The handbook consists of 58 specialist chapters giving voice to a diverse set of authors including established senior researchers and scholars at the beginning of their career, from across the study area. This has enabled us to deliver broad overviews and case studies on the seven key topics of Mesolithic Europe, Mesolithic Geographies, Hunter-gatherer Landscapes, Mesolithic Life, Meaningful Technology, Death and the Dead, Cosmologies, Ritual and Symbolism. We believe that the archaeology of Mesolithic Europe will continue to grow from the strengths demonstrated in this volume, which is its diversity, its commitment to collaborative research, and to a unique connection of exciting exploratory theory, a grounding in the empirical evidence, and a potential to continue to grow with the development of scientific methods"--
