    The role of place-making and architecture in mobile cultures

    The relationship of hunter-gatherer societies to the built environment is
    often overlooked or characterized as strictly utilitarian in archaeological research. Taking on deeper questions of cultural significance and social inheritance, this volume offers a more robust examination of houses as
    not only places of shelter but also of memory, history, and social cohesion within these communities.

    Bringing together case studies from Europe, Asia, and North and South
    America, More Than Shelter from the Storm utilizes a diverse array of methodologies including radiocarbon dating, geoarchaeology, refitting
    studies, and material culture studies to reframe the conversation around hunter-gatherer houses. Discussing examples of built structures from the Pleistocene through Late Holocene periods, contributors investigate how
    these societies created a sense of home through symbolic decoration,
    ritual, and transformative interaction with the landscape.

    Demonstrating that meaningful relationships with architecture are not
    limited to sedentary societies that construct permanent houses, the
    essays in this volume highlight the complexity of mobile cultures and demonstrate the role of place-making and the built environment in
    structuring their worldviews.

    I'd guess that they say nothing useful about hominoid & hominin sleep, but focus on Hs H&G vs agric. settlements.


    Youtube videos by Nomad Architecture shows a variety of shelter constructions.
