Description
Hunter-Gatherer Archaeology as Historical Process challenges traditional views of hunter-gatherer societies in North America. By combining empirical studies with anthropological and historical theory, this volume sets a new course for the field.
The book explores three themes: human agency, the constitution of society and culture, and the long view of cultural diversity and continuity. A closing commentary by H. Martin Wobst highlights the promise of an archaeology that blurs the divisions between prehistory and history, and between hunter-gatherers and people in other societies.
This book offers a fresh perspective on North American archaeology, inviting inquiry into counterintuitive alternatives to prevailing theories. It is a significant contribution to our understanding of hunter-gatherer societies and their place within the broader context of human history.
