Evolutionary Theory and Archaeology, Part II: Applications of Human Behavioral Ecology, Macroevolutionary Approaches, and Costly Signaling
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)
This session complements Evolutionary Theory and Archaeology, Part I. The research featured in this session explores applications of human behavioral ecology, macroevolutionary approaches, and costly signaling in archaeological contexts. As with the first session, we aim to examine new conceptual and methodological tools that allow for the conduct of evolutionary-based archaeology as well as identify appropriate domains of application. Furthermore, we aim to bring together a group of evolutionary-minded researchers to discuss outstanding problems of shared interest and to plant the seeds for future collaboration. Discussants will comment on the research presented in the context of their own ideas about where we as a group should focus our future efforts to benefit the discipline as a whole.
