The volume will provide, for the first time in forty years, a global overview of Late Middle Pleistocene archaeology. It investigates whether this period saw a significant growth in hominin capacities that foreshadow many of the better documented developments associated with the much later modern human revolution.

Clive Gamble is Emeritus Professor in the Centre for the Archaeology of Human Origins (CAHO) at the University of Southampton and a Visiting Fellow in the Department of Geography, Royal Holloway. From 2004-11 he was co-director of the British Academy Centenary research project 'Lucy to Language - the Archaeology of the Social Brain'. His recent books include Settling the earth: the archaeology of deep human history (2013) and Thinking Big: how the evolution of social life shaped the human mind (2014), with John Gowlett and Robin Dunbar John McNabb is a member of the Centre for the Archaeology of Human Origins at the University of Southampton. He is interested in the social aspects of technology and material culture with especial reference to the Acheulean and the Lower Palaeolithic/Earlier Stone Age. He has worked extensively in Europe and Africa. Matt Pope is a research fellow at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London and Deputy Director of the Boxgrove Project. He is interested in patterning the use, transportation and discard of artefacts by early humans, taphonomic processes and the geological context of Middle Pleistocene human occupation. He is currently exploring the role of bifacial technology and tool curation behaviour in Lower Palaeolithic hunting strategies and social organization.
