About the Book
Acclaimed since its original 1998 publication, The Paleolithic of Siberia is a collaboration among researchers who worked at dozens of sites from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. It was the English-language volume to summarize the massive quantity of archaeological data unearthed at these sites over twenty-five years, The discoveries trace the routes of human migration throughout Eurasia, shows Siberian lithic industries as they evolved from the Early through the Middle and Late Paleolithic, and correlates the data with reports from Mongolia, China, Japan, and North America.About the Author
