| Abstract: |
a review of research covering the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods in Wales is presented, commencing with a summary of the existing research database and an outline of the aims and preliminary results of relevant current projects. Relevant research agenda are examined and used as a basis for developing future agenda for Wales. These emphasise the need for multi-disciplinary projects with a broad geographical perspective. It is argued that a number of key research issues arise, including the need for a study of hunter-gatherer group territories and relationships between sites. The author argues that the current gaps in human presence require examination, and there is a need to move the focus away from cave sites towards open-air sites, and that new sites with good palaeo-environmental evidence need to be identified, and more reliable radiocarbon determinations obtained |
