Emergent Tribal Formations in the American Midcontinent
TL;DR: In this paper, a social perspective on gatherer-hunters in general and those of the Archaic in particular is presented, where the authors suggest that alliance and exchange are universal hominid strategies and that while they may have ecologically or biologically adaptive features, they are primarily about social relations and social reproduction.
