The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the Acheulean technocomplex, including the arrangement of data from six undisturbed cave sites and numerous open-air localities that span a period from 600,000 to 100,000 years ago. Lyubin meticulously describes each monument according to a rigorous multidisciplinary scheme encompassing stratigraphy, faunal analysis, palynology, and anthropological remains.  The work is particularly significant for its reconstruction of the migration routes of early hominids from the African-Levantine world through the Caucasian isthmus, identifying the unique regional characteristics of local stone tool industries. Featuring 98 detailed illustrations of bifaces, cleavers, and geological sections, the volume serves as an essential reference for the geochronology and paleoecology of the Pleistocene. This particular copy is distinguished by an original autograph from Vasily Lyubin, adding immense value for collectors of scientific provenance. Published in a limited print run of only 500 copies by \"Petersburg Oriental Studies,\" this encyclopedic volume is a major bibliographical rarity for archaeologists, paleoanthropologists, and specialists in the prehistoric Silk Road.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44126616289322,"sku":"BOOK-SIGLYU-4V5A","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_7214.jpg?v=1771948690","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/signed-lyubin-v-p-the-acheulean-epoch-in-the-caucasus-ashelskaya-epokha-na-kavkaze-1998-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
