This paper is an account of the archaeologies and histories of these two island groups; in particular the contrasts between my experiences of the archaeology, the islanders attitudes to their background and the manner in which this becomes translated into the visitor’s perceptions and broader cultural definitions.
Regionalism in Late Middle Palaeolithic Handaxes: Adaptation or Choice?
Karen Ruebens (University of Southampton, UK)
During the later phase of the Middle Palaeolithic (MIS 5-3, 125-30kyaBP) a change can be noted in the Neanderthal archaeological record, with the reoccurrence of handaxe-dominated assemblages in large parts of Europe. Within these handaxes, regional differences occur, both in the technological and typological characteristics. These differences will form the topic of this paper and will be looked at from three different perspectives:
