About the Book

Situating the South-Eastern European region at the crossroads between the Near East and the rest of Europe, The Prehistoric Hunter-Gatherers of South-Eastern Europe provides an interdisciplinary exploration of the Balkan record of prehistoric foragers in terms of dispersal, ecologies, evolution, and symbolism.

The Balkans can increasingly be seen as a key crossroads region, connecting the Near East with the rest of Europe. Such movements of ancient human foragers were not always from east to west; eastward dispersals into the Near East also occurred. The Balkans also served as an interaction zone, where encounters between incoming and indigenous human groups led to the exchange of ideas and genes. Recently increased intensity of study in the region has led to the discovery of genetic evidence for interbreeding (Neanderthals and modern humans), as well as rock art and possible early seafaring evidence.

Ruiz-Redondo and Davies set out new frameworks for future research. The Prehistoric Hunter-Gatherers of South-Eastern Europe is the first volume to evaluate the long hunter-gatherer prehistory of South-Eastern Europe, drawing together the latest evidence to restore this region to its full geographical and human evolutionary importance. This includes evidence of shifting raw material and subsistence economies, human remains and ancient DNA, and pre-Neolithic ceramics.

About the Author:
Aitor Ruiz-Redondo, Senior Lecturer in Prehistory, University of Zaragoza, William Davies, Professor of Palaeoanthropology, University of Southampton

Aitor Ruiz-Redondo is a Senior Lecturer in Prehistory at the University of Zaragoza (Spain) and a British Academy Newton International alumnus. He obtained his PhD in Prehistory and Archaeology at the University of Cantabria (Spain) with a thesis about Palaeolithic graphic behaviour in South-western Europe. He later undertook postdoctoral positions at the Universities of Bordeaux (France), Southampton (UK), and Zaragoza (Spain), where his research has mainly been dedicated to the study of Upper Palaeolithic societies of Eastern Europe. He has led international research projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Spain, and UAE. Since 2020 he is vice-president of the UISPP 'Prehistoric art' world commission.

William Davies is Professor of Palaeoanthropology at the University of Southampton (UK), and has developed strong research interests in the later European Palaeolithic (100,000-10,000 years ago) over the last 30 years. His research has focused on integrating palaeoanthropological, palaeoclimatic, and palaeoenvironmental datasets within robust chronological frameworks (Stage 3 Project, 1996-2002; S2AGES project, 2001-2004; EFCHED and RESET programmes, 2004-2013), as well as the characterisation of creativity and innovation in ceramic and other Palaeolithic technologies. He has lectured at the University of Southampton since 2006, and before then held post-doctoral research positions at the universities of Cambridge, Southampton, Oxford, and London.
