Abstract

Exception is taken to two statements in Cordell's review. Eight out of seventeen titles dealing with hunters and gatherers in the case study group might not be considered “overkill” in view of the fact that so many of the world's cultures were and are those of hunters and gatherers. Secondly, the detail and the occasional imperfection in Frison's Prehistoric Hunters of the High Plains does not detract from its substantial utility.
