This is the first in a series of three reports on fieldwork carried out in this region from 1979 to 1991, presenting evidence for the Epipalaeolithic periods and Neolithic hunting stations in the Harra associated with the use of desert 'kites'. This volume also includes an edited summary of work by Uzbek and Russian scholars on hunting traps and animal migration patterns on the Ustiurt plateau in Uzbekistan, which lies between the Aral and the Caspian seas.' ***Contents:: The Epipaleolithic Periods by A.V.G.

[Quote taken from the back cover] ***First impression of the true first edition, very hard to find in such fine bright collectable condition. An extremely scholarly monograph, profusely illustrated throughout, of interest to collectors and academics studying archaeology and pre-history of Eastern Jordan and the Middle East.
