AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article is an examination of the relationship between subsistence and the distribution of settlements in the Tonto Basin of Arizona. On the basis of the material obtained from the analysis of data from the Tonto Basin, three competing hypotheses about the relationships between subsistence and settlement systems have been rejected. Two of these hypotheses were based on the premise that there should be a high degree of cooperation between neighboring settlements, while the third suggested that there was considerable competition between settlements for access to agriculturtal land. The major portion of this document discusses the analysis of the authors' data from the Tonto Basin and why they (the authors) believe that it conflicts with the hypotheses noted above.
