Description
This book considers prehistoric and more recent manifestations of human hunting behaviour, with a general emphasis on communal hunting. It demonstrates that the combination of archaeological, ethnographic and ethnohistorical approaches provides a researched basis for consideration of the topic, on worldwide, regional, and local scales. It includes theoretical and methodological issues, withing a context of enquiry, original data presentation, and discussion. It should be of interest to archaeologists, anthropologists and ethnohistorians.
