Upper Palaeolithic Dwellings of Mammoth Bones in the Ukraine: Kiev-Kirillovskii, Gontsy, Dobranichevka, Mezin and Mezhirich

By I.G. Pidoplichko

This book offers an English translation of two books by Soviet-era scholar I. G. Pidoplichko, Pozdnepaleoliticheskie zhilishcha iz kostei mamonta na Ukraine (Late Palaeolithic Dwellings of Mammoth Bones in the Ukraine) (1969) and Mezhirichskie zhilishcha iz kostei mamonta (The Mezhirich Dwellings of Mammoth Bones) (1976), both originally published by Naukova Dumka in Kiev. These books describe the author's excavations in the 1950s and 60s, which offered information on the important new discovery of open-air sites and dwellings dating to the Palaeolithic period. The two works are here combined, translated and presented with a new introduction by P. Allsworth-Jones, contextualising the original analyses and adding new and up-tp-date information based on research undertaken since their original publication.
