Abstract
Flannery and Spores give an overview of the cave, rock shelter and open air sites pertaining to the Oaxaca Archaic, emphasizing natural setting, stratigraphy and dating, with brief mention of important finds. The only sites relevant to this file (Early Mesoamerican Archaic NY30) are the Guilá Naquitz Cave and Martínez Rock Shelter, although the latter produced useful ecofacts only.
