The status 01 women In a society dependS in large measure on their role in the economy. !he reinterpretation of the Paleolithic past centers on new views of the role of women In the food-foraging economy. Amassing critical and previ· ously overlooked evidence from Oolnl Vestonice and the neighboring site of Pavlov, researchers Olga Soffer, James Adovasio, and David Hyland now pr0- pose that human survival there had little to do with men hurli ng spe8l'S at big. r.; n9h!~ 374 MORE MODEL TESTS game animals.

"This is nol th e image we've always had of Upper Paleolithic macho guys out killing an imals up close and personal." Soifer explains. "Net hunting is communal, and 1\ involves the labor of children and women. And this has lots of implications." Many 01 these Itnpllcatlons make her conservative colleagues cringe because they raise serious questions about the focus of previous studies. Euro- pean arcMologists have long concentrated on analyzing broken stone tools and butchered big-game bones, Ihe mosl plentilul and beSI preserved relics 01 the Upper Paleolithic era (which stretched Irom 40,000 to t2 ,000 years ago). From these analyses, researchers have developed theories about how these societies once hunted and gathered food. Most researchers ruled out the POS- sibility 01 women hunters for biological reasons. Adult females, they reasoned. had to devote themselves to breast-feeding and tending infants. "Human babies have always been immature and dependent," says Soifer. " II women are the people who are always involved with biological reproduction and the rearing of the young, then thai Is going to cojlstr8/n their behavior. They have to provi- sion that child.

Women as well as men knotted the mesh, laboring for as much as two or three years on a fine net. Among Native American groups, they helped lay out their handiwork on poles across a valley flOor. Then the entire camp joined forces as beaters. Fanning out across the valley, men, women, and children alike shouted and screamed, flushing out game and driving il in the direction 01 the net. "Everybody and their mother could participate," says Soifer. "Some people were bealing, others were screaming or holding the net. And once you got the net on these animals, they were immobitized.

"Nets are a far more valued item in Iheir panoply of food- producing things than bows and arrows are," says Adovasio. So lethal are these traps that the Mbuli generally rack up more meal than they can consume, trading the surplus with neighbors. Other net hunters traditionally smoked or dried their catch and stored it for leaner times.
