Transhumant Pastoralism in Southern Europe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789638046116)

Sixteen perspectives from archaeology, history and ethnology bring together recent research on the origins, development and eventual demise of transhumant pastoralism. All the papers except one were presented at a symposium during the 12th International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences at Zagreb, July 1988, and one of the ultimate aims of the collection is to present a series of testable models that can be used to help identify the signs of transhumant pastoral adaptation in the archaeological record, given the difficulty of establishing its presence and significance in the study of prehistoric cultural systems. Contributors: Anne-Marie Brisebarre; Frederick Baker; László Bartosiewicz; Tone Cevc; Ekaterini Chalkea; Claudia Chang; Eugen Comsa; Nikos Efstratiou; Herbert Grassl; Haskel J. Greenfield; Joel Martin Halpern; Marta Moreno Garcia; John G. Nandris; Michael L. Ryder; Jurij Senegacnik and Inja Smerdel.
