AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this chapter Marcus and Flannery discuss how the inhabitants of the Valley of Oaxaca coped with the changes that occurred in their environment. They describe three sites: Gheo-Shih, Guilá Naquitz, and Cueva Blanca. Their way of life is reconstructed for the cave sites and the open air site. Interestingly, a dance floor and men's and women's tool kits seem to have been found.
