Social Interaction in the Prehistoric Natufian: Generating an interactive agency model using GIS

By Carla A. Parslow

Material culture and features from the Natufian Levant show variation across space and time. This thesis analyses the archaeological record and uses GIS to attempt to demonstrate that chronology and ecological differences are not the sole determinant of this variability, but that interaction between social groups was also a defining factor in the spread of styles of material culture. Further Carla Parslow shows that levels of interaction can be suggested and mapped based on landscape features, to aid our understanding of hunter-gatherer behaviour in the Prehistoric Natufian.
