Fisher-Hunter-Gatherer Complexity in North America
2023
Overview
Demonstrating the wide variation among complex
hunter-gatherer communities in coastal settings
This book explores the forms and trajectories of social
complexity among fisher-hunter-gatherers who lived in coastal,
estuarine, and riverine settings in precolumbian North America.
Through case studies from several different regions and
intellectual traditions, the contributors to this volume
collectively demonstrate remarkable variation in the circumstances
and histories of complex hunter-gatherers in maritime
environments.
The volume draws on archaeological research from the North
Pacific and Alaska, the Pacific Northwest coast and interior, the
California Channel Islands, and the southeastern U.S. and Florida.
Contributors trace complex social configurations through
monumentality, ceremonialism, territoriality, community
organization, and trade and exchange. They show that while factors
such as boat travel, patterns of marine and riverine resource
availability, and sedentism and village formation are common
unifying threads across the continent, these factors manifest in
historically contingent ways in different contexts.
Fisher-Hunter-Gatherer Complexity in North America
offers specific, substantive examples of change and transformation
in these communities, emphasizing the wide range of complexity
among them. It considers the use of the term complex
hunter-gatherer and what these case studies show about the
value and limitations of the concept, adding nuance to an ongoing
conversation in the field.
