This work challenges that position by arguing that mobility is a socially negotiated activity and that neither mobility nor sedentism can be understood outside of its social context. Drawing on research in the Mesa Verde region that focuses on communities and households, Mark Varien expands the social, spatial, and temporal scales of archaeological analysis to propose a new model for population movement. Rather than viewing sedentism and mobility as opposing concepts, he demonstrates that they were separate strategies that were simultaneously employed. Households moved relatively frequently--every one or two generations--but communities persisted in the same location for much longer. Varien shows that individuals and households negotiated their movements in a social landscape structured by these permanent communities. Varien's research clearly demonstrates the need to view agriculturalists from a perspective that differs from the hunter-gatherer model. This innovative study shows why current explanations for site abandonment cannot by themselves account for residential mobility and offers valuable insights into the archaeology of small-scale agriculture. 517 $aSedentism and Mobility in a Social Landscape 606 $aLand settlement patterns, Prehistoric 615 0$aLand settlement patterns, Prehistoric. 676 $a307.14 700 $aVarien$b Mark D.$01084890 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910576895503321 996 $aSedentism and Mobility in a Social Landscape$92995806 997 $aUNINA
