Prehistoric Cultural Ecology and Evolution de Donald O. Henry

Prehistoric Cultural Ecology and Evolution: Insights from Southern Jordan: Interdisciplinary Contributions to Archaeology

Donald O. Henry

Offering the most comprehensive study of southern Jordan, this illuminating account presents detailed data from over a hundred archaeological sites stretching from the Lower Paleotlithic to the Chalcolithic periods. The author uses archaeological and paleoenvironmental evidence to reconstruct synchronic and evolutionary aspects of the cultural ecology of the prehistoric inhabitants of southern Jordan. This study exemplifies that cultural historic and processual approaches are integral to examining prehistoric cultural ecology. Numerous artifact illustrations as well as tables and appendixes containing primary data are included.
