{"product_id":"9781836950448","title":"From Hard Rock to Heavy Metal : Metal Tool Production and Use by Indigenous Hunter-Gatherers of North America by Michelle Rae Bebber","description":"The discovery and development of metals as tool media is a topic of global interest. This phenomenon is generally associated with sedentary, agricultural societies; however, in North America metal use by hunter-gatherer populations began as early as 9,000 years ago and continued into modern times. The regional and cultural diversity of research in this volume contributes to how we conceptualize hunter-gatherer innovation, technological proficiency, and complex decision-making in the past. Readers are challenged to reconsider long-held assumptions about how, when, and under what conditions metal became a part of humanity's story.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420032348533,"sku":"9781836950448","price":104.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781836950448","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
