Cusick, seeks to define the role of culture contact in human history, to identify issues in the study of culture contact in archaeology, and to provide a critical overview of the major theoretical approaches to the study of culture and contact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors consider three forms of culture contact—colonization, cultural en­tanglement, and symmetrical exchange. Part I provides a critical overview of theo­retical approaches to the study of culture contact, while Part II contains eleven case studies of specific contact situations and their relationships to the archaeological record. \u003cem\u003eStudies in Culture Contact\u003c\/em\u003e pro­vides an extensive review of the history of culture contact in anthropological stud­ies and develops a broad framework for studying culture contact’s role, moving beyond a simple formulation of contact and change to a more complex under­standing of the amalgam of change and continuity in contact situations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55091476005238,"sku":"9780809334094","price":50.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27661188.jpg?v=1734453664","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780809334094-studies-in-culture-contact","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
