In Pursuit of the Past - Decoding the Archaeological Record
Entry/Object ID
L1993.8.8
Description
In Pursuit of the Past decoding the archaeological record discusses: What was lifelike for our early ancestors? How can we interpret or "decode" the patterns observable in the archaeological record: And why did mankind make the transition from hunting and gathering to farming, and subsequently to civilized life, in the space of a few thousand years? With these fundamental issues in mind Professor Binford reexamines the way we look at the past and reassesses the whole course of human cultural evolution, from the beginnings millions of years ago to the first civilizations.
