Hypothesis
"Fire use is an integral prat of the hunter-gatherer niche, off-site as well as on-site"(314).
Note
Further, "it is clear that burning is carried out for a wide range of short- and long-term objectives, and in the longer term, many hunter-gatherer firing practices created more mosaic types of environments than would have occurred without an anthropogenic fire regime"(314). Note: These are descriptive generalizations.
