This anthology consists of ten plays from countries involved in the First World War, including plays from Germany and France never before available in translation.Representing a range of dramatic forms, from radio play to street-epic, from comic sketch to musical, this anthology includes plays from: Gertrude Stein, Muriel Box, Marion Wentworth Craig, Dorothy Hewett, Berta Lask, Marie Leneru, Wendy Lill, Alice Dunbar Nelson, and Christina Reid. Highly successful in their day, these plays demonstrate how women have attempted to use theatre to achieve social change. The collection explores the historical development of theatrical conventions and genres and the historical context of social and gender issues.

Behind the intriguing title of this volume is a compilation of many of the papers presented during a session of the 15th Congress of the Union Internationale des Sciences Préhistoriques et Protohistoriques held in Lisbon in 2006. The session reviewed the current state of research into the spatial analysis of western Eurasian Palaeolithic and Mesolithic sites. Covering a broad temporal and geographical range, these studies reflect the enormous variety of spatial evidence preserved in the archaeological records of these periods.

The Magdalenian open air site of Gönnersdorf (Rhineland, Germany) continues to provide new insights into the organisation of Upper Palaeolithic human societies. This analysis of the faunal remains at the site goes far beyond a mere presentation of primary archaeozoological data to investigate the ways in which the Magdalenian site occupants incorporated hunting and subsistence into their daily life and social organisation. Methods including targeted strategies of radiocarbon dating, analyses of mortality patterns of horse, the main prey animal, meticulous recording of evidence for butchery, and the plotting and interpretation of spatial patterning of animal remains place the faunal data in context. Integrating these approaches, the authors have produced a convincing description of a Magdalenian settlement occupied seasonally in response to environmental opportunities and constraints, organised according to a strict spatial template and functioning as a semi-permanent »village«, thus foreshadowing the full sedentarism emerging in the contemporary Near East.
From the Hunt to the Cave

Kůlna is one of the largest cave sites in eastern Europe and contains evidence of repeated occupations by Neanderthals and modern humans. This book presents analysis of faunal remains from one of the Middle Palaeolithic levels, the Taubachian (Level 11), providing a detailed insight into Neanderthal subsistence at Kůlna during the Eemian Interglacial and at the onset of the following glaciation.Due to the ideal location of the site on the boundary of a deep valley and uplands, Neanderthals were able to exploit fully a variety of local and regional habitats for game. Traces of butchery were recorded mainly on bones of horse, large bovines, red deer and giant deer, but also on remains of mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, reindeer, ibex/chamois, bear, beaver and roe deer. The fauna from Level 11 fits into a scenario of flexible Neanderthal hunting, in which groups of animals (horses, large bovines) would have been taken during communal hunts and the killing of other species (bear) would have necessitated different tactics, possibly the construction of traps (beaver). Important in the faunal assemblage is the presence of many retouchers and a few formal tools made of hard animal materials, demonstrating the close connection between the processing of animal carcasses for food and the use, manufacture and maintenance of lithic tools.
