The research problem

guilá naquitz : archaic foraging and early agriculture in oaxaca, mexicoOrlando • Published In 1986 • Pages:

By: Flannery, Kent V..

Abstract
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].)
