This volume publishes papers from a session at the 15th uispp congress which examined prehistoric fuel management. Several papers combine anthracological study with findings from modern anthropological surveys, whilst there are also two experimental papers investigating the use of bone as a fuel source, as well as one offering prehistoric evidence for this possibility. Other papers review the evidence for the management of wood as a fuel sources from excavations at Kebara and Hayonim caves in Israel and from various sites in the south of France.
