Description

Desert Peoples: Archaeological Perspectives provides an overview of hunter-gatherers in desert landscapes. Written by an international roster of experts, this volume examines the key concepts vital to understanding human adaptation to marginal environments and the behavioral and belief systems that underpin these concepts. Desert Peoples brings together studies from deserts as diverse as the sand dunes of Australia, the US Great Basin, the coastal and high altitude deserts of South America, and the core deserts of Africa. Ultimately, Desert Peoples’ comparative approach profiles current understandings and debates about cultural and ecological processes affecting hunter-gatherer societies in deserts.
