Reviews

This collection more than deserves a place on the shelves of anyone working on mobility. -- The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

A significant step forward in integrating studies of living systems with those of the archaeological record. --Journal of Human Evolution Provides much for archaeologists to think about. The collection will be a useful addition to the library of archaeologists and cultural anthropologists who study mobile people. --American Anthropologist A no-nonsense book which does exactly what it says on the cover. The twelve contributions are equally divided into two sections looking at ethnoarchaeological mobility and archaeological studies of mobility, with case studies ranging from Australia to Portugal via Kazakhstan, Madagascar, and Sulawesi. . . .More than deserves a place on the shelves of anyone working on mobility. ----The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

Provides new and useful insights into the ways in which archaeologists can study the range of mobility strategies in hunter-gatherer, horticultural, and pastoral societies. The ethnoarchaeological case studies are impressive, and most go beyond mere cautionary tales to provide archaeologists with models of the material correlates of a number of distinct mobility strategies. -- Mark S. Aldenderfer
