Sedentism and Settlement in Native California: Research Progress and Prospects
California Archaeology, 2020The ethnographic literature of California has long attributed some measure of reduced mobility to nearly all of its Native societies, but methods for determining this measure for any given group have greatly varied.

World Archaeology, 2006Abstract A poorly defined notion of ‘sedentism’ continues to feature prominently in archaeological discussions of the Epipalaeolithic/Neolithic transition in Levantine prehistory. While acknowledging the valuable contribution of previous studies on the subject, this article argues that interpretations of the archaeological evidence are being hampered ...

Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, 2015Abstract For most of the time that anatomically modern humans have existed, small mobile foraging bands followed natural resources. Starting around 15,000 years ago, communities of sedentary foragers began to emerge. This transition has been detected archeologically in numerous regions of the world, including southwest Asia and Japan.

Despite the abundance of lithic debitage at preceramic sites in the Maya Lowlands, these data have rarely been studied in detail. We analyzed the chipped chert debitage from Caye Coco and Fred Smith, two Archaic period sites in the Freshwater Creek ...

Scholars have long debated when the Neolithic began in China. Neolithisation, however, is a process rather than an event. It is more realistic to investigate the timing and nature of the socio-economic trajectory from mobile, microblade-using foragers to
