Although we generally think of social collapse in terms of ‘civilisations ’ - i.e. settled if not urban societies, we can see here that the fundamentals of crisis & collapse are relevant also with hunter gatherer groups.

Previously, the authors of this chapter have individually argued that regional hunter-gatherer settlement systems collapsed in the wake of these eruptions and that these settlement collapses can be linked to archaeologically observable material culture changes. Yet, these responses track different trajectories from crisis to collapse reflecting both the pre-event vulnerability and post-event resilience measures of these communities.
