Описание: "Provides new and useful insights into the ways in which archaeologists can study the range of mobility strategies in hunter-gatherer, horticultural, and pastoral societies. The ethnoarchaeological case studies are impressive, and most go beyond mere cautionary tales to provide archaeologists with models of the material correlates of a number of distinct mobility strategies."--Mark S. Aldenderfer, University of California, Santa Barbara "A no-nonsense book which does exactly what it says on the cover. The twelve contributions are equally divided into two sections looking at ethnoarchaeological mobility and archaeological studies of mobility, with case studies ranging from Australia to Portugal via Kazakhstan, Madagascar, and Sulawesi. . . .More than deserves a place on the shelves of anyone working on mobility."--Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute "Brings together the research of archaeologists, bioarchaeologists, and ethnoarchaeologists to explore the role of mobility among traditional people of the past and present. The studies cover mobile horticulturalists, pastoralists, and hunter-gatherers. The focus on mobility provides a strong focal point."--American Anthropologist "A significant step forward in integrating studies of living systems with those of the archaeological record."--Journal of Human Evolution
Humans are unique in their ability to inhabit an immense range of physical habitats. This capacity partially results from the need to cope with variation in spatial and temporal distributions of critical resources. Yet factors other than the search for food often impacts relocation. Information gathering, raw material collection, social networking, trade, and mate search each present mobility needs that compete with daily food searches. While physical evidence might explain such human behavior, ethnographic information can reveal how these events interrelate, providing the missing link between human activities and the remains preserved in the archaeological record.
