guilá naquitz : archaic foraging and early agriculture in oaxaca, mexico • Orlando • Published In 1986 • Pages: 369-384

By: Whallon, Robert.

AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document

Whalen utilizes dimensional analysis of variance to discover significant spatial interrelations artifacts on living floors at Guilá Naquitz Cave. The results are complimentary to the descriptive analysis in Document 39, with greater emphasis on sexual division of labor and use of space within the cave, working from the assumption that men hunted and butchered animals, while women gathered and prepared vegetable foods. Only the maps and summaries for stratigraphic zones C and B pertain to the Early Archaic. (Procedural aspects of analysis are indexed for ORGANIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF RESEARCH [128].)
