By: Flannery, Kent V..
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this preview to the following series of chapters in which statistical analysis are performed to delineate activity areas within each living floor in Guilá Naquitz Cave (Documents 39-42), Flannery establishes principles for the interpretation of artifact distributions, commenting on previous attempts at spatial analysis for other sites and cultures. Hypotheses about subsistence strategies for testing are formulated employing ethnographic analogy and extrapolation from the survey data for the modern environment. The raw data employed in the spatial analyses is provided in tables. Only the data for stratigraphic zones C and B pertain to the Early Archaic. (Theoretical background, procedural concerns, and critiques of other projects are indexed, respectively, for THEORETICAL ORIENTATION IN RESEARCH AND ITS RESULTS [121], ORGANIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF RESEARCH [128] and/or REVIEWS AND CRITIQUES [114].)
