Abstract
Whyte examines the available faunal and floral archaeological evidence from the Middle Archaic and finds direct evidence of subsistence remains almost non-existent. He points out archaeologists rely on ethnographic analogy and reconstructions of the environment and then assume that available edible foods were exploited. 'The interrelationship of human subsistence, technology, and settlement is fortunate in that it permits partial reconstruction of human subsistence in the absence of subsistence remains' (page 127).
