Ideas around prehistoric societies (Idéer omkring f⊘rhistoriske samfunn)
This book does not aim at documentation of the ideas around prehistoric societies launched. It is just intended as a guiding pointer for future studies. In this respect it has been necessary to give a critical evaluation of the ‘New Archeology’ which has based itself on logical empiricism which is obsolete in modern philosophical thinking. Instead the book claims the complementarity of science and art. Otherwise the problem of social groups is co…

The Value-Base of Social Anthropology
In keeping with its present state of theoretical and methodological development and the ever accumulating stock of empirical information, the role of social anthropology today is not merely to describe or to explain a phenomenon (or a set of phenomena). Proceedings sequentially by answering the three questions "What is it?", "How is it?", and "Why is it?", social anthropology should now be in a position to answer the fourth fundamental question i…
Socio-archaeology [and Comments and Reply]
This article represents another attempt to combine archaeology and social anthropology in order to investigate the possibility of reconstructing some major features of prehistoric social systems. As man has always had to come to terms with the ecosystem of which he is an integral part, ecology comes to be extremely important, the more so since it is a truly holistic science dealing with the entire homeostatic balance in nature. The main differenc…
The Panajachel Symposium [and Comments and Replies]
This is the report of a "Schriftfest" for Sol Tax. More than 20 former students and colleagues met in Panajachel, Guatemala, to discuss his contributions to their own growth and to that of the discipline. The papers presented focused on studies of North American Indians, Middle American Indians, and "Middle America." Discussion centered on Tax's distinction between the bow and the hoe, i.e., the differences between North American tribal peoples a…
Rethinking Culture
Culture as a concept has not been fully examined by the profession for some time. This article is a challenge to carry out this examination. It begins by discussing problems in the use of the concept and then goes on to suggest a new way of looking at culture: as a cultural pool, analogous to the gene pool (both culture and genes being forms of storing and retrieving information), from which each individual, each dyad, each group draws its partic…

Steps Toward a Unified Anthropology [and Comments and Reply]
It is generally recognized that there exists currently a strong trend toward the "fractionation" of anthropology and the "absorption" of its several subdivisions into other disciplines. On the other hand, if we are striving for a balanced perspective on present-day anthropology we should not ignore a concurrent movement toward the integration of biological and sociocultural anthropology into a unified science. In this paper an attempt is made to …
Ecology and Peace Research
Starting with Johan Galtung's 'Structural theory of aggression', the article empha sizes the ecological background of conflicts, particularly conversion of energy through plants and animals. The role of the horse is dealt with more extensively and exemplified by pastoral nomads, Plains Indians, etc. Group conflicts seem to be concomitant to the introduction of new mechanisms of conversion of energy. One of the most striking characteristics of ind…

‘They have accused the archaeologist of tatting endless taxonomic rosettes of the I same old ball of “material culture” and maintained that his findings are next to useless for the purpose of history and culture study. It seems that the archaeologists are becoming as Tolstoy once said of modern historians, like deaf men answering questions which no one has asked them. In their broader implications these accusations are all too true’ (Taylor, 1948…
A Note on Changing Norwegian Attitudes Towards the Lapps (Sames)
Culture Contact in a Lapp (Same) Community
The Circumpolar Stone Age
IF one looks at a world map, or better still at a globe, one sees that Asia can easily be thought of as the central part of the world from which all other parts radiate-the Americas as well as Europe and Africa-whilst Indonesia and Melanesia provide a fairly good land bridge to Australia. In considering the Polar Regions it is important to realise that the Behring Strait has never been a barrier between the Asiatic and American continents. Eskimo…
Some Problems in Northeastern Archaeology
In the exceedingly important symposium, 'Man in Northeastern North America,' edited by Frederick Johnson, Frederica de Laguna has published a very interesting and elucidative paper, 'The Importance of the Eskimo in Northeastern Archeology,' dealing chiefly with the relations between the Dorset Eskimo and the prehistoric Indians of the Northeast. The subject is fascinating, indeed, partly because the Dorset culture has a rather peculiar position w…
