Synopsis

The term "affluent-foragers" has traditionally described the socio-economic conditions of some coastal fisher-hunters. It implies a high standard of living achieved by high levels of sedentism, made possible by efficient adaptation to the environment. This volume aims to reassess this concept, using case studies from Australia, South America and Japan.
