Faunal assemblages from three Early Archaic sites are compared to evaluate whether or not significant differences in diet can be attributed to geographic variability. The results of this study suggest that geographic variability, specifically that associated with longitude, does not contribute to dietary differences in any significant fashion. Understanding the impact of geographic variability on diet is critical to successfully modeling cultural responses to the Altithermal, a period of unusually warm and dry climate roughly coeval with the Early Archaic
