asian perspectives 39(1±2) spring and fall 2000 foragers adapt to their social and physical environments. Cooper demonstrates how seasonal variation in hydrological regimens strongly in¯uences the structure of both terrestrial and aquatic resources in her study area. This variation, in turn, in¯uences mobility and settlement systems. If essentially identical rainfall conditions occurred in the Mesolithic, did similar adaptive strategies develop to address them? This question is di½cult to answer with the available data. While the regional spatial distribution of archaeological sites is not inconsistent with the ethnographic model, studies of surface scatters are unlikely to provide a detailed understanding of an economy based on ®shing. The integration of the ethnographic model with the archaeological data, then, awaits further development. In general, this is a strong contribution to the Mesolithic prehistory of Central India. As a study it is well organized, closely argued, and thoughtful. The detailed presentations of data and analytical technique employed in the study are particularly welcome. If the results raise more issues than they resolve, they nonetheless point in important directions for future research e¨orts. Like other work from the same publisher, the volume is well produced and professionally edited. South Asianists with an interest
