Sutton. 330 2 $a"This book brings together the work of archaeologists investigating prehistoric hunter-gatherers (foragers) and early farmers in both the Southwest and the Great Basin. Most previous work on this topic has been regionally specific, with researchers from each area favoring a different theoretical approach and little shared dialogue. Here the studies of archaeologists working in both the Southwest and the Great Basin are presented side by side to illustrate the similarities in environmental challenges and cultural practices of the prehistoric peoples who lived in these areas and to explore common research questions addressed by both regions. Three main themes link these papers: the role of the environment in shaping prehistoric behavior, flexibility in foraging and farming adaptations, and diversity in settlement strategies. Contributors cover a range of topics including the varied ways hunter-gatherers adapted to arid environments, the transition from hunting and gathering to farming and the reasons for it, the variation in early farmers across the Southwest and Great Basin, and the differing paths followed as they developed settled villages"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aIndians of North America$zWest (U.S.)$xAntiquities 606 $aPrehistoric peoples$zWest (U.S.) 606 $aHunting and gathering societies$zWest (U.S.)$xHistory 606 $aAgriculture, Prehistoric$zWest (U.S.) 606 $aDesert people$zWest (U.S.)$xHistory 606 $aLand settlement$zWest (U.S.)$xHistory 606 $aEnvironmental archaeology$zWest (U.S.) 606 $aSocial archaeology$zWest (U.S.) 607 $aSouthwest, New$xAntiquities 607 $aGreat Basin$xAntiquities 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xAntiquities. 615 0$aPrehistoric peoples 615 0$aHunting and gathering societies$xHistory. 615 0$aAgriculture, Prehistoric 615 0$aDesert people$xHistory. 615 0$aLand settlement$xHistory. 615 0$aEnvironmental archaeology 615 0$aSocial archaeology 676 $a979.00497 702 $aRoth$b Barbara J.$f1958- 702 $aMcBrinn$b Maxine 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158566403321 996 $aLate Holocene Research on Foragers and Farmers in the Desert West$92009192 997 $aUNINA
