Synopsis "Palaeolithic Italy: Advanced Studies on Early Human Adaptations in the Apennine Peninsula"

The picture of the Palaeolithic adaptations in the Italian Peninsula has always been coarse-grained compared to various well-researched regional hotspots in central and western Europe, as a result of historical research bias preventing the application of new research methodologies. Nonetheless, discoveries regarding Neanderthal extinction and behavioral complexity, the dispersal of Anatomically Modern Humans as well as the origin and diffusion of modern technologies and symbolic behavior in Europe have brought Italy into focus as an ideal region for understanding the evolutionary development of various hominin species that inhabited the continent in the Late Pleistocene. In particular the dynamics of the earliest human peopling of Europe, the reasons and timing of Neanderthal's demise and how environmental factors affected human prehistoric behavior, rates of technological innovation and connectivity of hunter-gatherer groups in Europe.The edited volume Palaeolithic Italy aims to contribute to our better understanding of the previous, still open, research questions. This will be achieved by presenting the latest advances in Palaeolithic research in Italy due to the application of a variety of modern analytical methods and cutting-edge techniques when studying numerous collections of materials from both old and new excavations as well as the latest results of field research in the country. The volume is intended for the international academia, representing a key reference for all archaeologists and readers interested in Early Prehistory of the Mediterranean region.
