Über dieses Buch
The discovery and development of metals as tool media is a topic of global interest. This phenomenon is generally associated with sedentary, agricultural societies; however, in North America metal use by hunter-gatherer populations began as early as 9,000 years ago and continued into modern times. The regional and cultural diversity of research in this volume contributes to how we conceptualize hunter-gatherer innovation, technological proficiency, and complex decision-making in the past. Readers are challenged to reconsider long-held assumptions about how, when, and under what conditions metal became a part of humanity’s story.

Rezensionen
“When the editors claim that the book addresses novel questions ‘using cutting-edge methods—including experimental archaeology, morphometric analysis, geochemical studies, and statistical modeling—to go beyond traditional narratives regarding technological development,’ they’re right on target. That’s exactly what the book does.” • Mike O’Brien, Texas A&M–San Antonio
