This implies that f is a composition of n+k-1 simple ( = at most two-to-one) closed continuous maps. Stronger conclusions are obtained for maps from Anderson-Choquet spaces and ones that satisfy W. Hurewicz's condition (α). The main tool is a certain extension of the Lebesgue-Čech dimension to finite-to-one closed continuous maps.
