palaeoeconomy

palaeoeconomy [Ge].
A school of archaeological thought developed in the 1960s by Eric HIGGS and his colleagues based in Cambridge which focused on the long-term determinants of human behaviour resulting from the relationships between people and their environment: ‘the study of man’s roles in the prehistoric ecosystems of which he was a member', as Higgs and his colleague Michael Jarman themselves put it.
