Ethnoarchaeology of foraging
2 years ago
The ethnoarchaeological and ethnohistorical study of foraging practices in Crete and other Aegean Islands will cover the activity of contemporary foragers in inland and coastal areas, based on seasonality, the differentiation of these practices according to gender and age, and their importance in the economy of the household or the wider social group.
