Synopsis
An international group of archaeologists present the result of researches carried out in a wide variety of sites that follow, vary, or critique Lewis Binford's forager-collector model. Among the topics are: the Paleolithic-Mesolithic transition in southern Germany, late Pleistocene and early Holocene Brazilian rock art sites, boat-using peoples along the Pacific Northwest coast, maritime hunter-gathers in the North Pacific, Great Basin settlements, the Magdalenian-Early Mesolithic Upper Danube Basin, Thule whaling societies in the Central Canadian Arctic, Jomon collectors in Japan, and the Natufian peoples of the Ancient Near East.
