AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Flannery reviews the radiocarbon dates for Guilá Naquitz Cave, settling upon a range of 10750 B.P. to 8670 B.P. for the Naquitz phase. Only dates for stratigraphic zones C and B fall within the range of the Early Archaic covered in this file (Early Mesoamerican Archaic NY30). Comparisons are made to the Tehuacán Valley sequence, where correspondence is found in dating and diagnostic materials during the last 2000 years of the Ajuereado phase, and to El Riego phase, which begins about 8500 B.P. (thus making the Ajuereado phase transitional from Paleo-Indian and the El Riego phase most representative of the Early Archaic).
