Palaeolithic Living Sites in Upper and Middle Egypt (Egyptian Prehistory Monographs, 2), 2000, 334 p., nbr. ill. et cartes. -

The field research and associated laboratory analyses reported in this volume represent more than 24 years of investigation in Upper and Middle Egypt by the Belgian Middle Egypt Prehistoric Project of Leuven University. During the course of these years, the Project excavated 29 sites with clear evidence of living surfaces. This book serves to present the results of these investigations, which span in time from the oldest known human presence in the Egyptian Nile valley, estimated to be some 4000,0000 years ago to the Epipalaeolithic era, approximately 6000 years ago. Thus, work herein reported spans the known Palaeolithic era of the Egyptian Nile valley.
