  • The Ecosystem Concept in Anthropology

    Susan H Lees, Emilio F MoranBOOKEcosystem Concept in Anthropology2019

    Critics of the ecosystem concept have noted the tendency of ecosystem-based studies to overemphasize energy flow, to rely on functionalist assumptions, to neglect historical and evolutionary factors, and to overlook the role of individuals as the locus of natural selection and decision making. In this volume, leading figures in the study of biological and human ecology evaluate these criticisms and propose ways to advance the state of knowledge i…

    Open AccessSusan H Lee, Susan H LeesARTICLEAmerican Anthropologist1986Cited by: 12References: 9

    Small-scale family farming and centralized bureaucratic management are in many ways incompatible, yet the two are often combined in modern irrigation systems. Bureaucrats and farmers cope by means of "informal adjustments." The kinds of informal adjustments made by farmers vary with their differential access to resources, particularly labor, despite minimal variation in access to land and water. The effects of bureaucratic control and associated …

  • The Role of Exchange in Productive Specialization

    Open AccessDaniel G Bates, Susan H Lee et al.ARTICLEAmerican Anthropologist1977Cited by: 38References: 14

    Nomadic pastoralists are specialists in complex systems of land use. Their own productive strategies are dependent in large part upon the conversion rates of their products to imported items from other sectors of a larger economy. Changes in these conversion rates are likely to arise for a number of reasons; pastoralists respond to such changes in various ways, depending upon their past histories and current conditions. The case of the Yörük, spe…

  • The Origins of Specialized Nomadic Pastoralism

    Open AccessSusan H Lee, Susan H Lees et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1974Cited by: 22References: 5

    A model is presented which describes the transition from mixed rainfall-dependent agriculture with animal husbandry to specialized modes of production based upon irrigated agriculture and nomadic pastoralism. This model emphasizes selective pressures for mixed farming before irrigation agriculture had expanded in the arid alluvial zones of Mesopotamia, and selective pressures for specialization after irrigation agriculture had become established …
