R4,493 Discovery Miles 44 930 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book explores the relationship between cultural strategies and their biological outcomes, combining for the first time an ecosystems approach with cultural anthropological, archaeological and evolutionary behavioural concepts. Beginning with resource use and food procurement behaviour, the text examines major subsistence modes, the circumstances and dynamics of large-scale subsistence change, the effect of social differentiation on resource use and the effects of subsistence behaviour on population development and regulation.

Erstmalig fur den deutschen Sprachraum wird ein methodisches Kompendium vorgelegt, mit dessen Hilfe eine umfassende Bearbeitung von historischen menschlichen Skelettresten ohne weiterfuhrende Literatur moeglich ist. Dargestellt ist das gesamte gangige methodische Repertoir von der Ausgrabung bis zur vergleichenden Auswertung der Daten. Ein Schwergewicht liegt auf moderner Laboranalytik (u.a. Spurenelement- und DNA-Analyse). Ziel und Nutzen des Buchs sind, dass ein Bearbeiter/Ratsuchender/Studierender allein mit dem vorliegenden Werk seine Arbeit planen und durchfuhren kann. Hierzu dienen besonders ausfuhrliche Rezepturen und Fallbeispiele, Illustrationen und anatomische Abbildungen. Auf ungewoehnliche UEberlieferungsformen menschlicher UEberreste (Leichenbrande, Mumien, Moorleichen) wird ebenfalls und ausfuhrlich eingegangen.

Between Biology and Culture (Hardcover): Holger Schutkowski Between Biology and Culture (Hardcover)
Holger Schutkowski
R3,491 Discovery Miles 34 910 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Humans adapt to their environment through a unique amalgamation of culture and biology. Both are intrinsic to our existence and constitute the dual aspect of human nature. This 2008 book addresses topics and themes exploring this close inter-relationship by presenting principles and applications of scientific approaches to human remains. Their appreciation within a human ecological context, incorporating conditions of the natural environment as well as cultural, social and political circumstances of the past, provides the framework for the detection and interpretation of our biocultural identity. Written for academic researchers and students alike, Between Biology and Culture assembles chapters that encompass topics from taphonomy to individual life histories, from seasonality to food, from well-being to disease, from genetics to mobility, and from body theory to forensic individualization. In doing so, the contributions probe the potential of skeletal analysis to look beyond the face value of observations and to detect the biological outcomes of cultural strategies encoded in human remains.
