Traditional approaches to the "intensification question" emphasize population pressure, climate change, bureaucratic management, or even land degradation as prerequisites for the onset of new or changing strategies, or the construction and maintenance of agricultural landscapes. Most often these factors are modeled as external forces outside the realm of human decision-making, but recent archaeological research presents an alternative to this suggesting that subsistence intensification is the result of human driven strategies for power, prestige and status stemming from internal conditions within a group. When responding to environmental adversity, human groups were less frequently the victims, as they have been repeatedly portrayed. Instead human groups were often vigorous actors, responding with resilience, ingenuity, and planning, to flourish or survive within dyn | 出版日期 | Book 2007 | 关键词 | Agriculture; Archaic period in North America; Neolithic; Protohistoric Agropastoral System; Subsistence | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-32762-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-4102-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-32762-4Series ISSN 1574-0501 | issn_series | 1574-0501 | copyright | Springer-Verlag US 2007 |
