"This volume stems from the proceedings of the third conference of the Graduate Archaeology Organisation at Oxford (GAO) held 4-5 April, 2008 at Hertford College, Oxford. The conference title was Challenging Frontiers: Mobility, Transition and Change, and aimed to address the question of mobility in the archaeological record from an inter-disciplinary perspective, and hence to encourage dialogue between the more artistic and scientific subdisciplines of archaeology."--Publisher's website. 0b_copyright 0bb_quote 0c_FrontMatter Chapter1 Chapter2 Chapter3 Chapter4 Chapter5 Chapter6 Chapter7 Chapter8 Chapter9 Chapter10 Chapter11 Chapter12 Chapter13 Chapter14 Front Cover Title Page Copyright Manuscript Information Opening Quotation TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES LIST OF TABLES LIST OF PLATES CONTRIBUTORS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CONFERENCE ORGANISATION COMMITTEE Chapter 1 Challenging the Frontiers of Mobility in Archaeology Chapter 2 The Lithic Evidence for Differing Mobility Strategies of Neanderthals and Anatomically Modern Humans during the Middle-Upper Palaeolithic Transition in Moravia, Czech Republic Chapter 3 Taking on the Final Frontier: Movement, Mobility and Social Change in Early Prehistoric Ireland Chapter 4 Bones, Stones or Ethnography?
