on fce Age hunters and gatherers and an arCMologlst at the University 01
illi-nois in Champaign-Urbana, It depended largely 00 women, plants, and a tech-nique 01 hunting previously invisible in the archeological evidence-net
hunting "This is nol the image we've always had of Upper Paleolithic macho
guys out killing animals up close and personal." Soifer explains "Net hunting is communal, and 1\ involves the labor of children and women And this has lots of
implications."
Many 01 these Itnpllcatlons make her conservative colleagues cringe
because they raise serious questions about the focus of previous studies Euro-pean arcMologists have long concentrated on analyzing broken stone tools
and butchered big-game bones, Ihe mosl plentilul and beSI preserved relics 01
the Upper Paleolithic era (which stretched Irom 40,000 to t2,000 years ago)
From these analyses, researchers have developed theories about how these
societies once hunted and gathered food Most researchers ruled out the POS-sibility 01 women hunters for biological reasons Adult females, they reasoned had to devote themselves to breast-feeding and tending infants "Human
babies have always been immature and dependent," says Soifer " II women are
the people who are always involved with biological reproduction and the rearing
of the young, then thai Is going to cojlstr8/n their behavior They have to provi-sion that child For lathers, provisioning is optional."
To tesllheories about Upper Paleolithic Iile, researchers looked to
ethnog-raphy, the scientific description of modem and historical cullural groups While the lives of modern hunters do not exactly duplicate those 01 ancient hunters,

flushing out game and driving il in the direction 01 the net "Everybody and their

food-producing things than bows and arrows are," says Adovasio So lethal are
these traps that the Mbuli generally rack up more meal than they can consume,

only net makers in Ice Age Europe.1BJ Camps stretching from Germany to Ru
