The end of the Pleistocene era brought dramatic environmental
changes to small bands of humans living in North America: changes
that affected subsistence, mobility, demography, technology, and
social relations. The transition they made from Paleoindian
(Pleistocene) to Archaic (Early Holocene) societies represents the
first major cultural shift that took place solely in the Americas.
This event--which manifested in ways and at times much more varied
than often supposed--set the stage for the unique developments of
behavioral complexity that distinguish later Native American
prehistoric societies.
Using localized studies and broad regional syntheses, the
contributors to this volume demonstrate the diversity of
adaptations to the dynamic and changing environmental and cultural
landscapes that occurred between the Pleistocene and early portion
of the Holocene. The authors' research areas range from Northern
Mexico to Alaska and across the continent to the American
Northeast, synthesizing the copious available evidence from
well-known and recent excavations.With its methodologically and
geographically diverse approach, "From the Pleistocene to the
Holocene: Human Organization and Cultural Transformations in
Prehistoric North America" provides an overview of the present
state of knowledge regarding this crucial transformative period in
Native North America. It offers a large-scale synthesis of human
adaptation, reflects the range of ideas and concepts in current
archaeological theoretical approaches, and acts as a springboard
for future explanations and models of prehistoric change.
