| Abstract: | A survey of reported cases of farmer and hunter-gatherer economic exchange indicates that more studies of such interactions might prove fruitful. Careful comparison of two such cases—the Mbuti-Bantu relationship of Africa (Turnbull 1965) and Agta-Palanan exchange on the northeast coast of the Philippines (J. Peterson 1974)—reveal significant theoretical and methodological implications of such studies . hunter-gatherers, comparative economics, cultural ecology, Southeast Asia, interethnic relations] |
