Seeking insight into prehistoric pottery manufacture and use, archaeologist James Skibo traveled to the remote Phillippine highlands to live with the Kalinga people, once headhunters, and one of the few groups in the world who still use ceramics for cooking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEven as he looked for clues to the past in the practices of the present, the author's time in the Kalinga homeland was packed with excitment: mystery, danger, sex, violence, and death. It was also an opportunity to taste a world both subtly and vastly different, while adding a new perspective to his own. In the course of his narrative, Skibo seizes every opportunity to link his experiences to the development of modern archaeology, and to such topics as human evolution, the peopling of the world, animal domestication, cultural logic, food taboos, basketball, Indiana Jones, and even Imelda Marcos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Skibo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0874806208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780874806205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Utah Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.56w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/29\/1999 pg. 64","brand":"James Skibo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44583744602367,"sku":"9780874806205","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_64c9303a-6180-46b8-b150-4956d2d73012.jpg?v=1701883317","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ants-for-breakfast-james-skibo-9780874806205","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
