Description: "From Gustavo Politis comes the first in-depth study in English of the last "undiscovered" people of the Amazon. Through a comprehensive ethnoarchaeological portrait of material culture "in the making," this work makes methodological and conceptual advances in the interpretation of hunter-gatherer societies. Politis's conclusions, based on six years of original research and on comparative analysis, are integrative and contribute to the identification of the multiple factors involved in the formation of hunter-gatherer archaeological assemblages."--BOOK JACKET.
