AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this chapter, Flannery provides supplies the theoretical framework for and summarizes the organization of the volume. This differs from the theoretical orientation in Document 14 in that it places greater emphasis on local, seasonal environmental variables and productivity potentials in a systems (or optimal foraging) approach to reconstructing the subsistence strategy of the Early Archaic. (The statistical summaries of productivity and models of resource procurement intended to be tested against the archaeological data indexed for ORGANIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF RESEARCH [128].)
