Farmers as hunters analyses from an essentially ethnographic
perspective the role of hunters in small-scale farming societies.
The twelve contributors examine the effects of hunting and mobility
on behaviour, diet, economy and material culture at both
culture-specific and cross-cultural levels. The influence of
sedentism and the increasing use of domesticates is also explored
across a wide range of societies from the American southwest and
Amazonian to Africa, New Guinea and the Phillipines. Differing
perceptions of the status of animals and plants are reviewed and
cultural values are throughout given due weight in a field where
discussion too often verges on the economically deterministic.
