This book provides a basic introduction to key debates in the study
of hunter-gatherers, specifically from an anthropological
perspective, but designed for an archaeological audience.
Hunter-gatherers have been the focus of intense anthropological
research and discussion over the last hundred years, and as such
there is an enormous literature on communities all over the world.
Yet, among the diverse range of peoples studied, there are a number
of recurrent themes, including not only the way in which people
make a living (hunting, gathering and fishing) but also striking
similarities in other areas of life such as belief systems and
social organisation. These themes are described and then explored
through archaeological case-studies. The overarching theme
throughout the volume is the use of ethnographic analogy, and how
archaeologists should be critical in its use.
