The final synthesis of the results from Tågerup in Sweden, one of the largest excavations of a Mesolithic site ever undertaken in northern Europe. It provides a new view of the Middle and Late Mesolithic, with interpretations of mentalities of the period never attempted before in Scandinavia, from a standpoint independent of the canon of contemporary Stone Age research. A major contribution to Mesolithic archaeology, this is a companion volume to "Tågerup specialstudier".
