By: Flannery, Kent V..

Abstract
Flannery ponders the implications of Reynolds computer simulation in Document 44, addressing the development of agriculture and culture change in general on a largely theoretical level, from a functional/adaptive perspective. There are scant references to hard data in reconstructing actual events. (General theoretical issues are indexed for THEORETICAL ORIENTATION IN RESEARCH AND ITS RESULTS [121]).
