The Foraging Spectrum by Robert L Kelly
The author wrote this book to show his archaeology students how dangerous anthropological analogy is and how variable the actual practices of foragers of the recent past and today are. By considering the actualnot imaginedreasons behind diverse behaviour, this book argues for a revision of many archaeological models of prehistory.
