Julian H. Steward – författare

"In a collection of papers spanningsome 20 years of work, Steward argues persuasively that cultural changeconsists of complex, continuing processes, rather than isolable acts orevents of unitary character ('diffusion'  versus 'independent invention')....With the increasing preponderance of studies of cultural change in archaeologyas well as anthropology this volume assumes as much importance for the prehistorianas for the student of contemporary societies."-- American Antiquity
