Modern skeletal material of these taxa from a wide geographical area was examined so as to make a more realistic assessment of the fossils than had previously been achieved. Similarly, fossils were studied from a wider geographical and temporal range than before. The study of the four chosen taxa was carried out with an acknowledgement of a variety of theoretical issues in biology, which affect the interpretation of such fossils.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47813576065175,"sku":"9781407300894","price":9489.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781407300894.webp?v=1778336939","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/an-evolutionary-study-of-some-archaeologically-significant-avian-taxa-in-the-quaternary-of-the-western-palaearctic-9781407300894","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
