Episode 9: Why do we have an Epipalaeolithic?

The Epipalaeolithic - the period from the Last Glacial Maximum to just before the beginning of farming - is an awkward period to characterise in the prehistory of the Near East. Mostly this is because the division between the Upper Palaeolithic and the earlier part of the Epipalaeolithic is a bit murky. This week we will look at this division, and see what changes, and what actually does not change as we move into the Epipalaeolithic.
