VITOR OLIVEIRA JORGE (ed.). 3 [degrees] Congresso de arqueologia peninsular, UTAD, Vila Real, Portugal, Setembro de 1999, urea organizacao ADECAP-UTAD: actas (2 vols.). 1102 pages, figures, tables. 2000. Oporto: ADECAP; 972-97613-2-9 (Vol. 1), 972-97613-3-7 (Vol. 2) paperback.

From a meeting in 1998, Prehistoric Iberia comprises four papers on genetics (one reviewing the history of the whole Mediterranean basin, the others assessing connections with Africa, including the Berbers), one on the origins of Berber society, one (J.L. Escacena pondering implications of excavation at La Marismilla) on the possibility of African immigrants c. 5000 BP -- with implications for related origins of the Egyptians -- and three devoted to language (including two on Basque, relating it to the `Caucasian' & Na-Dene languages). Papers from the 3rd Congress on Peninsular Archaeology (i.e. Spain & Portugal; 1999) of the Association for Development & Cooperation in Peninsular Archaeology (ADECAP) have been published in two sets: the first on the history of archaeological heritage management, archaeology & society, history of archaeology (19 papers), and a miscellany; the second on the Palaeolithic (18 papers on the Lower & Middle Palaeolithic, 10 on Upper Palaeolithic `palaeoecology', and four on rock art). They are all in Spanish and Portuguese except two in English on the Middle Palaeolithic and six in English and one in French on the Upper Palaeolithic.
