Summary:

"Well-established and innovative young scholars present new prehistoric data, new methods and theories to investigate ancient forager lifeways and hunter-gatherer variability across the globe. It extends beyond ethnographers and historians to argue that only through archaeological research can the full range of hunter-gatherer variability be documented"--Provided by publisher.
