Shipwreck Anthropology - Paperback

by Richard A. Gould (Editor)

Shipwrecks are part of the legitimate domain of anthropology and can produce results that are as significant for our ability to explain variability in human behavior as any other kind of archaeology, whether it deals with stone tools in a European Paleolithic rockshelter or ceramics contained in a sixteenth-century Spanish shipwreck. So argues Richard A. Gould, the editor of this volume originating from a 1981 School of American Research advanced seminar.
