Thus, we offer hypotheses as facts. One of the major controversies in physical anthropology concerns the geographic origin of anatomically modern humans. This volume is based on the Field Museum of Natural History Spring SystemÂ atics Symposium held in Chicago on May 11, 1991. Multiauthored books like ours, which simultaneously advocate and question diverse views, avoid the pitfalls and lessen the impact of indoctrination. Two schools of thought existon this topic. It is undisputed, due to the extensive research of the Leakeys and their colleagues, that the family Hominidae originated in Africa, but the geographic origin of Homo sapiens sapiens is less concretely accepted. We avoid all weak points of our debate and all the uncerÂ tainties of our models. In this volume we analyze the anthropological and biological disagreements and the positions taken on the origins of modern humans, point out difficultieswith the interÂ pretations, and suggest that the concept of the human origin can be explained only when we first attempt to define Homo sapiens sapiens. When we teach or write, we present only those elements that support our arguments. The financial support of Ray and Jean Auel and of the Field Museum is gratefully acknowledged.

Origins of Anatomically Modern Humans

Ethnoarchaeological approaches have also affected research in theoretical ways by expanding investigation into the nature and organization of systems of land use per se, thus providing direction for further study of the material results of those systems.

The authors critically examine the systemic interface between people and their environment first by identifying the indicators of that relaÂ tionship (e.g., historical documentation, archaeological site patterning, faunal remains), then by defining the processes by which change in one part of the ecosystem affects other parts (e.g., by conSidering how an ecotonal gradient affects biotic communities over time), and finally by explicating the behavioral implications thereof.

Holocene Human Ecology in Northeastern North America This book is a collection of papers about the recent and distant past by scientists and humanists involved in the study of human ecology in northeastern North America. Decades of research not only have illuminated the backdrop against which culture is viewed, but have identiÂ fied many of the conditions that influence or promote technological developÂ ment, social transformation, and economic reorganization.Students of human behavior have always been interested in the relationship between human populations and their environment.

The more complete historical picture presented will be of interest to scholars and students of archaeology, anthropology, and history.

Incorporating both archaeological and ethnohistorical evidence, this volume reexamines the role played by native peoples in structuring interaction with Europeans. Ethnohistory and Archaeology.

The principles and techniques, however, are all of much broader applicability.

Statistics for Archaeologists This book is intended as an introduction to basic statistical principles and techniques for the archaeologist. It grows primarily from my experience in teaching courses in quantitative analysis for undergraduate and graduate stuÂ dents in archaeology over a number of years. The literature on quantitative analyÂ sis in archaeology has grown to prodigious size in the past 25 or 30 years. Physical anthropologists, cultural anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists, political scientists, and speCialists in other fields make use of these same principles and techniques.
