Description
Clive Gamble presents and questions two of the most famous descriptions of change in prehistory. He identifies the historical agendas behind 'origins research' and offers a bold alternative, relating the study of change to the material basis of human identity.
The book examines how changing identities can be understood using embodied material metaphors, and charts the prehistory of innovations through two major case-studies. Gamble asks whether agriculture really changed the social world, providing new insights into the Neolithic period.
