Abstract:
This volume explores cultural transfer with a focus on the combination and modification of material and behavioural attributes under conditions of contact. Chapters demonstrate the diverse understandings that can be gained by exploring the material remains of past contact, exposing and overcoming limitations of competing models of cultural change.
