Theory of Culture Change

Mehr zum Buch

 "In a collection of papers spanning      some 20 years of work, Steward argues persuasively that cultural change      consists of complex, continuing processes, rather than isolable acts or      events of unitary character ('diffusion'  versus 'independent invention')....      With the increasing preponderance of studies of cultural change in archaeology      as well as anthropology this volume assumes as much importance for the prehistorian      as for the student of contemporary societies."      -- American Antiquity
