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 pre-Columbian 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. Essays 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.
