Paleoecology of Beringia /
Product of the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research Symposium held June 8-17, 1979 in Burg Wartenstein. However, all contributions have been revised since the conference and many of the reports are substantially different. Fossil and botanical evidence is examined to determine the env...
