Ethnoarchaeology of Shuwa-Arab Settlements

Ethnoarchaeology of Shuwa-Arab Settlements demonstrates the imperative need for ethnoarchaeology to include a deep sense of the history of the specific social group under analysis for its findings to truly impact archaeological thinking.

Augustin F. C. Holl is professor of anthropology and Afroamerican & African Studies at the University of Michigan and a Curator at the University of Michigan's Museum of Anthropology.
