Abstract
This is a report on Medjez II, an Upper Capsian snailery in North Africa's Maghreb. In Part I, Camps-Fabrer describes the stone and bone artifacts, and human remains uncovered in the previous excavations at the site (1963-1967.) Next she discusses her own series of excavations carried out in 1967 and 1968. In the second part of the book, she examines the evolution of each type of artifact over the four periods that divide the 2500-year occupation of the site. She also examines the skeletal remains.
