'Binford’s classic work is archaeology’s Moby Dick—raw in the
ethnographic details of butchering nature for human purposes and
rich in the knowledge so gained for the study of the human past.
Nunamiut Ethnoarchaeology put complexity back into hunting and
archaeologists have been feasting off the fat ever since.' (Clive
Gamble, University of Southampton)
'Decades after its initial publication, Nunamuit Ethnoarchaeology
remains a defining moment in archaeological method and theory.
Binford’s pioneering tour de force continues to inspire
archaeologists and stands as a basic sourcebook for anyone
interested in hunter-gatherer studies. This book is one of the
reasons why I do what I do.' (Karen Lupo, Washington State
University)
'Nunamiut Ethnoarchaeology will always stand as one of the most
important and innovative books in taphonomy, ethnoarchaeology, and
hunter-gatherer ethnography. A brilliant treatise on
hunter-gatherer foraging and a model for the rest of the field to
follow on how to use the present to learn about the past.' (Curtis
W. Marean, Arizona State University)
