It documents the antiquity and widespread occurrence of the belief in supernatural gamekeepers at the global level. This interdisciplinary volume documents both the antiquity and the widespread geographical distribution of this belief along with surveying the various manifestations of this cosmology by way of studies from Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America. Some chapters explore the manifestations of this belief as they appear in petroglyphs/pictographs and other forms of material culture. Others focus on the environmental impacts of these beliefs/rituals and prescribed foraging restrictions by analyzing how they affect game harvests. The internationally recognized scholars in this volume assess the efficacy of this particular form of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and investigate if adherence to the belief in animal masters actually causes hunters to refrain from overharvesting wild game and thereby contributes to sustainable hunting practices. This volume is of interest to anthropologists, archaeologists and other social scientists researching traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), indigenous conservation, biodiversity, and sustainability practices, and animal deities. 001482839 650_6 $$aChasse. 001482839 650_6 $$aSurnaturel. 001482839 650_0 $$aHunting.$$0(DLC)sh 95001636 001482839 650_0 $$aGamekeepers$$xFolklore.$$vFiction$$0(DLC)sh2008117760 001482839 650_0 $$aSupernatural.$$0(DLC)sh 95009308 001482839 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001482839 7001_ $$aChacon, Richard J.,$$d1959-$$eeditor.$$d1959-$$0(OCoLC)oca07256727 001482839 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aChacon, Richard J.$$tThe History and Environmental Impacts of Hunting Deities$$dCham : Springer,c2023$$z9783031375026 001482839 830_0 $$aConflict, environment, and social complexity ;$$vv. 4 001482839 852__ $$bebk 001482839 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-37503-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001482839 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1482839$$pGLOBAL_SET 001482839 980__ $$aBIB 001482839 980__ $$aEBOOK 001482839 982__ $$aEbook 001482839 983__ $$aOnline 001482839 994__ $$a92$$bISE
