Paperback. Featuring the earliest evidence in Eurasia of animal exploitation, this volume presents faunal analyses of medium-sized and large mammals at this Israeli site and provides taxonomic and actualistic data as well as beautifully illustrated studies in taphonomy. Series: Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology. Num Pages: 270 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSAF; PSVW; RBX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 279 x 210 x 17.

Multidisciplinary research on the Early-Middle Pleistocene site of Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov has yielded abundant climatic, environmental, ecological and behavioral records. The 15 archaeological horizons form a sequence of Acheulian occupational episodes on the shore of the paleo-Lake Hula. These enable us to reconstruct numerous aspects of the survival and adaptation of ancient hominins, leading to a better understanding of their evolution and behavior. This book presents the faunal analyses of medium-sized and large mammals, providing taxonomic, taphonomic and actualistic data for the largest faunal assemblages. The study of modes of animal exploitation reveals valuable information on hominin behavior.
