AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This concluding chapter of an edited volume reviews the difficulties of studying the paleoecology and paleoeconomy of the Early Paleo-Indian period. The authors discuss the need for new models to focus directly on human ecology, which will require the creation of more appropriate and dynamic ethnographic analogies.
