The use of ethnographic analyses for researching late palaeolithic settlement systems, settlement patterns and land use in the Northwest European Plain
In this paper the results of the analysis of data on residential and non-residential settlements in seventy arctic and sub-arctic North American collector societies are presented. These results are related to the major resource strategies of those societies, and pertain to the ten analytical domains...
