AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
MacNeish and Wilner, using the data Dawson generated in his experimental work, determine how the stone tools from the various sites were used. This information, along with the rest of the data, is used to reconstruct the way of life for the sequential occupations at Todsen Cave, Tornillo Shelter, and North Mesa site. This includes diet, tool types and the uses the tools were put to, and the types of activities that occurred at the sites. The authors also describe what time of year the sites were used to help determine the seasonal round and the settlement pattern. This document was not marked for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) codes for the phases that are younger than the Mesilla phase or any data after 1100 BP (AD 900).
