Abstract This chapter asks two simple questions: what the Mesolithic is and why it matters. Answering the first question requires a review of the history of the definition of the Mesolithic including an emphasis on alternative ways of approaching the periodization of human activity. The second question asks what value knowledge about the

FOR many years it was the custom to regard the line of separation of the Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods as roughly corresponding to the geological division between the Pleistocene and Holocene; and even Mr. Peake's excellent historical summary (NATURE, Jan. 20, p. 104) does not make it clear why this position was ever abandoned.

An elusive Mesolithic: absence of evidence or evidence of absence? Here, I shall use the term Mesolithic in its chronological sense, to designate early Holocene hunter-gatherer assemblages. The period under consideration spans between c . 9500 and 8000 BP uncalibrated, or c . 8700 to 7000 BC in calendar years.

The Eastern European Mesolithic tradition spanned the Preboreal, Boreal, and Atlantic periods. The Preboreal stage was a transitional stage between the Late Pleistocene Ice Age and the Holocene Boreal Period. A warming period, the Polovetsian warming, occurred between 10,300 and 10,000 b.p. A partial return to glacial vegetation, the Pereslav’ cooling,
