Omschrijving
The relationship of hunter-gatherer societies to the built environment is often overlooked in archaeological research. Taking on deeper questions of cultural significance and social inheritance, this volume offers a robust examination of houses as not only places of shelter but also of memory, history, and social cohesion within these communities.
“Challenges the notion that the built environment of hunter-gatherers was purely functional, to keep them warm and dry. Through a series of case studies spanning more than 40,000 years, the authors provide convincing evidence that hunter-gatherer houses were more than just shelter from the storm.”—Gary Coupland, coeditor of Emerging from the Mist: Studies in Northwest Coast Culture History
“Drives home the notion that hunter-gatherers cannot be easily essentialized, nor can they be divorced from their histories, cosmologies, or houses for that matter.”—Asa Randall, author of Constructing Histories: Archaic Freshwater Shell Mounds and Social Landscapes of the St. Johns River, Florida
Brian N. Andrews is associate professor and head of the Department of Psychology and Sociology at Rogers State University and coauthor of The Mountaineer Site: A Folsom Winter Camp in the Rockies.
Danielle A. Macdonald is associate professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Tulsa.
