By: Flannery, Kent V..

Abstract
This contains Flannerys theoretical musings on the scientific method in archaeology, structured as a conversation with his imaginary alter ego, a parody of Carlos Castanedas notorious Yaqui shaman, Don Juan. There are short recapitulations of what might have transpired during the early development of agriculture in respect to adaptive stimuli highlighted by the computer modeling described in Document 44.
