The research problem
guilá naquitz : archaic foraging and early agriculture in oaxaca, mexico • Orlando • Published In 1986 • Pages:
By: Flannery, Kent V..
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this introduction to the volume, Flannery comments on evidence for plant domestication from a largely theoretical perspective. This is in part due to the fact that the evidence for Archaic period maize domestication at Guilá Naquitz is debatable. The majority of the chapter is a formulation of a locally applicable theory of plant domestication, with little empirical reference to the Early Archaic. (Dominantly theoretical portions of the text indexed for THEORETICAL ORIENTATION IN RESEARCH AND ITS RESULTS [121].)
