Under Pressure‪?‬

This open access book gathers different case studies of resilience and coping strategies in hunter-gatherer societies who were confronted with natural hazards. Most of these archaeological and ethnographic papers were presented at the Conference on Hunting and Gathering Societies (CHAGS) held in Dublin in June 2022. In addition, contributions on more resilience and human-climate interaction are presented. Joined in this book, authors display a range of strategies how people could face natural hazards and climate change, how authors manage stress at a group or personal level, and how authors transmit their knowledge about dreadful events and successful responses to later generations. Consequently, this book is primarily for a scientific audience focused on hunter-gatherers but will also provide insights for those interested in human responses to crisis and change.
