The term ‘prehistoric’ was first introduced into the English language in 1851 by Daniel Wilson in his book The prehistoric annals of Scotland (London: Macmillan), although the Oxford English Dictionary ’s etymological listing suggests that the word ‘prehistoric’ was first used in the Foreign Quarterly Review in 1836 to describe...

... Archaeology Prehistoric archaeology is a field of research that encompasses all of the pre-urban societies of the world, which by definition have no written records to provide direct accounts by observers and participants. It therefore has a distinctive set of procedures for analyzing material remains in order to reconstruct their ecological settings, materials procurement and subsistence practices, everyday life, social organization, and the patterning of symbolic codes in such extinct societies. Since this is the “purest” form of archaeology,...

Nothing is known about which humans were responsible for these sites or how they subsisted. Mousterian (Middle Paleolithic) sites are confined to the Altai Mountains (e.g.,...

...in human social organization. Yet the suite of systematic archaeological methods, procedures, and interpretive frameworks to examine prehistoric social relations is more recent, stemming largely from the latter half of the twentieth century. As recently as 1954 , Christopher Hawkes ( American Anthropologist 56: 155–168) outlined a rather narrow vision for archaeology that scripted little potential for the study of prehistoric social organization.
