The area covered by the survey consists of geographical region which includs areas in both Spain and Portugal. The periods covered span from the Copper Period (2000 BC) to the late Roman Period (4th century AD). Extensive field survey which located and assessed surface evidence for cassiterite ore that was mined, smelted and used in bronze production in antiquity, is followed by laboratory analytical examination of collected samples of slags, metals and minerals using primarily SEM/EDS analysis.

Detailed report on excavations at the Bronze Age site of El Castillo in south-western Spain. The aim was to study the subsistence economy and material culture of the Early Bronze Age. With descriptions of excavations, study of chronology, finds, human remains and palaeoeconomy.

The aim of this book is firstly to establish chronology of Later Stone Age settlement in Waterber plateau and secondly to investigate the particular influence of the Waterberg ecosystem on Later Stone Age settlement patterns and on the lifestyle of the inhabitants and their utilisation of resources of this area. Finally, the most complex study presented here is the study of the influence of the immigrant Iron Age farmers on the indigenous Later Stone Age hunter-gatherers.

The recently excavated Epigravettian site of Grubgraben (Lower Austria) is of exceptional significance for understanding human adaptations during the last Glacial Maximum. An analysis of interassemblage variability reveals several local, organizational responses by hunter-gatherer systems to the return of severe ice-age conditions following a relatively mild climatic oscillation.

Published for the Archaeological Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest.Papers presented here offer an account of some of the results of recent settlement-pattern archaeology in Transdanubia (Western Hungary) from the Late Bronze Age until Late Roman times. They were specially selected for this volume and mark a significant development for, until recently, little attention has been paid to this aspect of Iron Age studies in Hungary.The common characteristic of these papers is an emphasis on transitional periods, hitherto neglected, and an attempt to break away from the single period-dominated approach. The papers utilize new data derived from intensive field work and from recent systematic excavations at Iron Age defended and open settlements and their related cemeteries. The work was carried out by the Archaeological Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.These explorations are an integrated part of other projects of the Institute aimed at discovering the total settlement-pattern of selected areas. The work includes a series of micro-regional studies, employing new surveying methods, which have been carried out in the framework of excellently functioning Hungarian-English cooperation.
