Notes:  Viking Fund Publications in Anthropology Number Thirty-Two.  “The symposium is to be concerned with tracing man’s history from latest Pleistocene times up to the threshold of the urban civilizations.  It is projected on a world-wide basis.  It will deal, substantively, with those archeological evidences that reveal the varying degrees of intensification of food-collecting, the transitions from food-collecting to partial or to fully effective food production, and the eventual emergence of city life and civilization.”  (From the Introduction)
