Description:Anthropologist Kevin Jones takes the reader on a journey into the world of the Ache, hunter-gatherers of the deep jungles of Paraguay. The Ache were among the last tribal peoples to come into peaceful contact with the outside world, with some bands leaving the forest only in the late 1970s. Jones was fortunate to live among them while conducting ethnoarchaeological fieldwork as part of his graduate studies.
