Methodological diversity in the analysis of human tracks Inferences from footprints : archaeological best practice Repetition without repetition : a comparison of the Laetoli G1, Ileret, Namibian Holocene and modern human footprints using pedobarographic statistical parametric mapping Reproduce to understand : experimental approach based on footprints in Cussac Cave (Southwestern France) Experimental re-creation of the depositional context in which late Pleistocene tracks were found on the pacific coast of Canada Reading spoor Part II. Case studies from around the globe Perspectives on Pliocene and Pleistocene pedal patterns and protection Frozen in the ashes Steps from history Reconsideration of the antiquity of the middle Palaeolithic footprints from Theopetra Cave (Thessaly, Greece) On the tracks of neandertals : the ichnological assemblage from Le Rozel (Normandy, France) Hominin footprints in caves from Romanian Carpathians Episodes of Magdalenian hunter-gatherers in the upper gallery of Tuc d’Audoubert (Ariège, France) Following the father steps in the bowels of the earth : the ichnological record from the Bàsura Cave (upper Palaeolithic, Italy) Prehistoric speleological exploration in the cave of Aldène in Cesseras (Hérault, France) : human footprint paths and lighting management The Mesolithic footprints retained in one bed of the former saltmarshes at Formby Point, Sefton Coast, North West England Prehistoric human tracks in Ojo Guareña cave system (Burgos, Spain) : the Sala and Galerías de las Huellas Part III.
