Resource Depletion and Religious Intensification - Ep 66

This episode centers on the concept of resource depression and its relationship to the proliferation of religious intensification that includes the production (sometimes) of rock art. We take you on an intellectual journey of research into the dynamics of the habits and habitat of the bighorn sheep, the technology of big game hunting, the controversies surrounding human ecology and Native cosmology.

Dr. Garfinkel has published on these topics in several articles in the Journal of Archaeological Science and also in the Annual Rock Art Research volumes from the American Rock Art Research Association. Attached are some links and material regarding these materials.
