{"product_id":"from-hard-rock-to-heavy-michelle-rae-bebber-9781836950448","title":"From Hard Rock to Heavy Metal: Metal Tool Production and Use by Indigenous Hunter-Gatherers of North America","description":"The discovery and development of metals as tool media is a topic of global interest. This phenomenon is generally associated with sedentary, agricultural societies; however, in North America metal use by hunter-gatherer populations began as early as 9,000 years ago and continued into modern times. The regional and cultural diversity of research in this volume contributes to how we conceptualize hunter-gatherer innovation, technological proficiency, and complex decision-making in the past. Readers are challenged to reconsider long-held assumptions about how, when, and under what conditions metal became a part of humanity's story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Rae Bebber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836950446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836950448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Michelle Rae Bebber","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":47039950323967,"sku":"9781836950448","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73e335e9-4020-4b3a-ae15-d0df27d02a3d.jpg?v=1752753102","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-hard-rock-to-heavy-michelle-rae-bebber-9781836950448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
