The Anthropology of Numbers
Numbers are an important feature of almost all known cultures. In this detailed anthropological study, Thomas Crump examines how people from a wide range of diverse cultures, and from different historical backgrounds, use and understand numbers.

Barter and Cash Sale on Lake Titicaca
A review of recent work in economic anthropology finds three competing approaches: decision theory, culturalism, and neo-Marxism.

He concludes that they have failed to compare, to work in cities, to relate part to whole, and to make use of history. These failures, h…

This leads to a review of the circumstances in which the words used to denote numbers in an indigenous language will change in response to increased interaction with a dominant culture. This effect is produced by the incorporation of the local into the national economy, particularly i…
