Overview

A major global climate event called the Younger Dryas dramatically affected local environments and human populations at the end of the Pleistocene.

Features

An integrated set of theoretical articles and important case studies, written by well-known archaeologists, provide an excellent reference for researchers studying the end of the Pleistocene, as well as those studying hunter-gatherers and their response to climate change.
