This superb survey of hunter-gatherer societies in Southwest Germany presents an overview of the archaeological record for three periods- the Late Paleolithic, the Early Mesolithic, and the Late Mesolithic. Michael A. Jochim employs his rigorously materialist orientation to suggest certain possibilities about the general organization of settlements, subsistence, and social relations of the cultures in question. He also discusses the data within the context of human events in western Europe during the same periods. The text is accompanied by 115 illustrations

Review
"Throughout the text it is apparent that Jochim acknowledges the importance of social factors, and that such considerations cannot be answered solely from ecological criteria ... interpretations offered by Jochim are intriguing. With Jochim's expertise in hunter-gatherer productive economies, he is uniquely qualified to bind together subsistence with social and ideological aspects of the past..."

By A Customer
This review is from: A Hunter-Gatherer Landscape: Southwest Germany in the Late Paleolithic and Mesolithic (Interdisciplinary Contributions to Archaeology) (Paperback)
As a student under Dr. Jochim, I have taken his courses again and again. He is very interested in this region in these time periods. His book is no exception for his lust of this age in our history. If you are seeking to learn what the Cro-Magnon man and early Homo sapien did to survive, then this is a must have. If you are reading this Dr., I am Miles Robertson and I want to say thanks for the many classes I have had with you.
