摘要：This slim volume is a collection of papers derived from podium and poster presentations at the International Union for Prehistoric and Protohistoric Sciences (UISPP) Congress held at the University of Liège in 2001. Written in both French and English, the overarching theme of palaeoecology is more evident in some contributions than others. Previously in this journal, the review of a similar book pertaining to the Middle Palaeolithic sessions at the same meeting points out that the purpose of this congress—essentially to allow researchers to present new results from excavations—frequently results in a series of site reports in the subsequent publication, an option offered to all congress participants (Uomini 2008). We concur that the palaeoecology volume reads very much as a collection of such reports and while there is most certainly value in this type of publication, the quality and relevance of the individual articles varies considerably and the volume lacks coherence.
