A classic read on this topic! The author characterizes the archaeological record as an accumulation of many human events superimposed upon each other across time and distance. The prehistoric Seedskadee area in southwestern Wyoming was both a cultural melting pot, and a transport route between the Great Basin, Great Plains, and intermontane region, where many different lifeways and adaptations existed. Using the results of work conducted there as a model for a distributional approach, Ebert discusses human settlement and mobility, subsistence and technological strategies.
