This study provides a concrete example of how foraging societies
enculturate and transform the natural environment and, through the
use of material objects, create sacred spaces and sites. Using
ethnographic and ethnohistorical information about the Khanty of
Siberia, Jordan shows the shortcomings of both interpretive and
materialist anthropological theorizing about hunters and gatherers.
He focuses on the rich and complex relationship between the
symbolism of the Khanty, their material culture, and the bringing
of meaning to physical places. His examination looks at the topic
in both historical and contemporary contexts, and in scales from
the core-periphery model of Russian colonialism to the portrait of
a single yurt community. Jordan's work will be of importance to
those studying cultural anthropology, archaeology, and comparative
religion.
