Paperback. Condition: New. Shaped by cartoons and museum dioramas, our vision of Paleolithic times tends to feature fur-clad male hunters fearlessly attacking mammoths while timid women hover fearfully behind a boulder. Recent archaeological research has shown that this vision bears little relation to reality. J. M. Adovasio and… Olga Soffer, two of the world's leading experts on perishable artifacts such as basketry, cordage, and weaving, present an exciting new look at prehistory. With science writer Jake Page, they argue that women invented all kinds of critical materials, including the clothing necessary for life in colder climates, the ropes used to make rafts that enabled long-distance travel by water, and nets used for communal hunting. Even more important, women played a central role in the development of language and social life-in short, in our becoming human. In this eye-opening book, a new story about women in prehistory emerges with provocative implications for our assumptions about gender today.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. THE UPPER PALEOLITHIC OF THE CENTRAL RUSSIAN PLAIN (STUDIES IN ARCHAEOLOGY), Olga Soffer, richly illustrated with charts, photos, maps, drawings, and diagrams, hardcover, probable 1st edition, stated 3rd printing, 1985. BOOK CONDITION: near fine. The text block and illustr…ations are in fine condition, with no tears, dog-ears, or marks. Not a remainder nor library book. The red boards are in very good condition (small, puckered spot on front cover, shelf wear along bottom edge). 9 ½ x 8, 539 pages, 42 ounces XX [from Google Books description] THE UPPER PALEOLITHIC OF THE CENTRAL RUSSIAN PLAIN examines the hunter-gatherer adaptations on the Upper Paleolithic central Russian Plain. The book offers both a culture history for the area and an explanation for the changes in human adaptation. It presents what has been found at 29 major Upper Paleolithic sites occupied over a period of some 14,000 years. The book presents details of the archaeological inventories and assemblages found at the 29 sites, together with the geography and geology of the study area. It then uses environmental data to model environmental conditions and resource distribution during the various periods of human occupation, as well as to predict optimal strategies for exploiting available resources. Subsequent chapters present the relative and chronometric dating schemes. The book also elucidates the man-land relationships, ensuing subsistence strategies, settlement types present in the archaeological record, settlement systems, and sociopolitical behavior. The text will be significant to archaeologists, paleoecologists, and anthropologists interested in hunter-gatherers and late Pleistocene adaptations.
