ABSTRACT
Peter Schweitzer aims to counter the common Anglophone assumption that modern hunter-gatherer discourse began with the 'Man the Hunter' conference of 1966. He begins with nineteenth-century German-language anti-evolutionism, the consequent emergence of economic anthropology (a compromise between evolutionism and anti-evolutionism), and after that the Vienna School of the early twentieth century. Foote in the late nineteenth century, and contrasts early approach with that developed as a result of the influence of the 'New Archaeology' of the 1960s. Like many North American archaeologists, he regards his field as a sub discipline of anthropology, and he argues for an approach to the modelling of human behaviour which might help bridge the gap between archaeology and other branches of a larger discipline of anthropology. James Suzman takes up a reconsideration of the issues of indigeneity and historicity among Ju/'hoansi in the western Kalahari.
