By: Dean, Jeffrey S..
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document, which is primarily theoretical in nature, presents a provisional integrative formulation that applies relevant aspects of universal culture process models to the specific problem of Anasazi culture change and adaptation to the environmental setting on the Colorado Plateaus. This is accomplished by delineating possible interrelationships among environmental, demographic, and behavioral variables that prevailed on the Plateaus during the last two millennia (p. 26).
