Neanderthal Lifeways, Subsistence And Technology by Nicholas J. Conard

One Hundred Fifty Years of Neanderthal Study

This edited collection synthesizes archaeological, paleoenvironmental, and zooarchaeological research to reassess the behavior, ecology, and technological capacities of Neanderthals. Through regional case studies on subsistence strategies, mobility, lithic production, site use, and seasonal adaptations, it portrays flexible, skilled foragers whose lifeways varied across environments and time. The volume challenges outdated stereotypes and situates Middle Paleolithic variability within a broader evolutionary and cultural context.
