Description

BOOK DESCRIPTION
This book is an attempt to reconstruct a Mesolithic framework around a little-known artefacts that express probable social complexity within a so-called functional hunter/gatherer system. Artistic representation in the form of decorated bone, antler and amber portrays a society that not only hunted, fished and gathered, but also believed in totemics.
