Summary:This collection of twelve essays and two comments comprises the papers from a symposium on ecological anthropology organized as part of the Midwestern Conference on Asian Affairs held in October 1976 at Ohio University. Paper topics range from paleolithic tool sequences to the adaptive strategies of contemporary Karo Batak migrants, and provide brief ethnographic accounts of more than a half-dozen widely differing populations from the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. This diversity, rather than being disconcerting, is the volume's chief recommendation.
