The Anthropology of Hunter-Gatherers : Key Themes for Archaeologists Paperback / softback
by Vicki Cummings
Part of the Debates in Archaeology series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book provides a basic introduction to key debates in the study of hunter-gatherers, specifically from an anthropological perspective, but designed for an archaeological audience.
Hunter-gatherers have been the focus of intense anthropological research and discussion over the last hundred years, and as such there is an enormous literature on communities all over the world.
Yet, among the diverse range of peoples studied, there are a number of recurrent themes, including not only the way in which people make a living (hunting, gathering and fishing) but also striking similarities in other areas of life such as belief systems and social organisation.
These themes are described and then explored through archaeological case-studies.
The overarching theme throughout the volume is the use of ethnographic analogy, and how archaeologists should be critical in its use.
