Origins and Revolutions
In this innovative study Clive Gamble presents and questions two of the most famous descriptions of change in prehistory. The second is the economic and social revolution of the Neolithic period. The first is the 'human revolution', when evidence for art, music, religion and language first appears.
He examines, through artefact proxies, how changing identities can be understood using embodied material metaphors and in two major case-studies charts the prehistory of innovations, asking, did agriculture really change the social world? Gamble identifies the historical agendas behind 'origins research' and presents a bold new alternative to these established frameworks, relating the study of change to the material basis of human identity. This is an important and challenging book that will be essential reading for every student and scholar of prehistory.
