Synopsis "More Than Shelter From the Storm: Hunter-Gatherer Houses and the Built Environment (in English)"
The role of place-making and architecturein mobile cultures Therelationship of hunter-gatherer societies to the built environment is oftenoverlooked or characterized as strictly utilitarian in archaeological research.Taking on deeper questions of cultural significance and social inheritance, this volume offers a more robust examination of houses as not only places ofshelter but also of memory, history, and social cohesion within thesecommunities. Bringingtogether case studies from Europe, Asia, and North and South America, More Than Shelter from the Stormutilizes a diverse array of methodologies including radiocarbon dating, geoarchaeology, refitting studies, and material culture studies to reframe theconversation around hunter-gatherer houses. Discussing examples of builtstructures from the Pleistocene through Late Holocene periods, contributorsinvestigate how these societies created a sense of home through symbolicdecoration, ritual, and transformative interaction with the landscape. Demonstrating that meaningful relationships witharchitecture are not limited to sedentary societies that construct permanenthouses, the essays in this volume highlight the complexity of mobile culturesand demonstrate the role of place-making and the built environment instructuring their worldviews.Contributors: Brian Andrews Amy E.
