Abstract
In this chapter Marcus and Flannery discuss how the inhabitants of the Valley of Oaxaca coped with the changes that occurred in their environment. They describe three sites: Gheo-Shih, Guilá Naquitz, and Cueva Blanca. Their way of life is reconstructed for the cave sites and the open air site. Interestingly, a dance floor and men's and women's tool kits seem to have been found.
