Queer Archaeology, Mathematical Modeling, And The Peopling Of The Americas, Elizabeth S. Chilton
Queer Archaeology, Mathematical Modeling, And The Peopling Of The Americas, Elizabeth S. Chilton
Anthropology Department Faculty Publication Series
Issues of chronology, technology, and subsistence have long dominated discussions of the peopling of the Americas, to the near exclusion of more anthropological topics. For example, little attention has been given to the social implications of an unpeopled landscape for understanding and indigenous sex roles and gendered relationships of the first Native Americans. There has been some recent discussion of the sexual division of labor among Paleo-Indians—and even women’s fertility (MacDonald 1998; Surovell 2000; Waguespack 2005). However, many of these approaches are fraught with biological and environmental determinism as well as gender stereotypes. Taking a page from queer theory, in …
Hunters Of The Ice Age: The Biology Of Upper Paleolithic People, Brigitte M. Holt, Vincenzo Formicola
Hunters Of The Ice Age: The Biology Of Upper Paleolithic People, Brigitte M. Holt, Vincenzo Formicola

The Upper Paleolithic represents both the phase during which anatomically modern humans appeared and the climax of hunter–gatherer cultures. Demographic expansion into new areas that took place during this period and the diffusion of burial practices resulted in an unprecedented number of well-preserved human remains. This skeletal record, dovetailed with archeological, environmental, and chronological contexts, allows testing of hypotheses regarding biological processes at the population level. In this article, we review key studies about the biology of Upper Paleolithic populations based primarily on European samples, but integrating information from other areas of the Old World whenever possible. Data about cranial …
