This connection between a call to become a shaman and physical or emotional trauma is one reason why some historians and psychiatrists regard shamanism as evidence of mental illness.
The Archaeology of Shamanism was created in 2001.
The Archaeology of Shamanism has 239 pages.
There difference is very subtle ! both belief systems are nonscientific and also provides a way for common people to tackle real hardships of the world. The major difference is scale of influence. If some powerful empire will follow a saman belief system and spread it across 1/3 of the world .. it'll become something like christanity. SO in that sense the belief systems which are regional with limited institutionalization are usually termed as shamanism.
The ISBN of The Archaeology of Shamanism is 0-415-25255-5.

shamanism
Shamanism is an oral tradition. Some books exist on the subject, but nothing that I would call a holy scripture.
Its argued between Hinduism and Paganism. However, there is a very small Zoroastrian population remaining still.
