Book excerpt: "This book is the first major review of the Mesolithic age of Greece," writes Colin Renfrew "If the (Franchthi Cave publications) represent a first milestone in mesolithic studies in the Aegean, this volume certainly constitutes a second. It establishes a perspective going beyond that of the single key site, allowing earlier finds such as those from Sidari on Corfu to be re-assessed, and including more recent discoveries at the Theopetra Cave, at the Cave of Cyclope on Youra, and from the Klisoura Gorge. The book moreover develops a number of methodological advances, along with a careful review of the chronology. It embarks also upon detailed investigations of the fauna and microfauna."
