Open Air Camps of the Terminal Pleistocene and Early Holocene: Intra-Camp Spatial Organization, Activity Areas, and Technology

Open air camps from the terminal Pleistocene and early Holocene are rare and pose significant challenges in excavation, analyses, and interpretation. This international symposium brings together case studies of camp sites that provide a means to summarize and discuss current understandings of these important sites. This global discussion provides the opportunity to collaborate on challenges and interpretations. In this symposium we survey intra-site patterning of activity areas, including habitation structures, toward the goal of defining the diversity in site structure and activities.
