AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Robson and Elias calculate the nutritional values of food remains from Guilá Naquitz Cave in order to reconstruct the diet of the occupants. The chapter begins with a discussion of the theoretical problems inherent to this approach, drawing upon modern comparative evidence. Only the data from stratigraphic zones C and B pertain to the Early Archaic. (Theoretical, procedural and comparative aspects are indexed, respectively, for THEORETICAL ORIENTATION IN RESEARCH AND ITS RESULTS [121], ORGANIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF RESEARCH [128] and/or COMPARATIVE EVIDENCE [171].)
