Thermal Maxima and Episodic Occupation of the Picacho Reservoir Dune Field
This chapter explores an hypothesized linkage between the episodic occupation of the Picacho Reservoir dune field and changes in the global thermal regime. It proposes that some ill-behaved fluctuations in the output of solar radiation during the past 5000 years created global thermal maxima which may have affected the habitability of a small, relatively unproductive patch of the Sonoran Desert for Archaic hunter-gatherers and later horticultural…
Social boundaries, resource depression, and conflict
Prey Body Size and Ranking in Zooarchaeology
The use of body size as an index of prey rank in zooarchaeology has fostered a widely applied approach to understanding variability in foraging efficiency. This approach has, however, been critiqued-most recently by the suggestion that large prey have high probabilities of failed pursuits. Here, we clarify the logic and history of using body size as a measure of prey rank and summarize empirical data on the body size-return rate relationship. Wit…
Evolutionary Ecology, Elite Feasting, and the Hohokam
A number of researchers have shown that the abundance, diversity, and size of prey consumed or displayed at a feast can be used by elites to solidify and/or aggrandize their social position. Expectations for archaeological signatures of elite feasting-derived from ethnographic studies, archaeological research, and ecological theory-are used to assess the archaeofaunal record from selected contexts of the Marana platform mound site, located in sou…
Showing off, Foraging Models, and the Ascendance of Large-Game Hunting in the California Middle Archaic
In a recent paper in American Antiquity (2002:231-256), Hildebrandt and McGuire argue that archaeofaunal patterns in California document an ascendance of artiodactyl hunting during the Middle Archaic. They also suggest that such a trend is inconsistent with predictions derived from optimal-foraging models. Given the apparent failure of foraging theory, they advance a 'showing off' model of large-game hunting. While their presentation is intriguin…
Specialization and the Middle/Upper Paleolithic Transition [and Comments and Reply]
Discussions of the differences between the Middle and the Upper Paleolithic usually oppose them as if they differed in essence and resort to lists of features apparently disconnected among themselves. This approach may be questioned; in fact, we are dealing with successive stages of a continuous evolutionary process, and we ought to be seeking, on a broader geographical and chrono-cultural basis, a unifying principle of which the features conside…

Factors Influencing the Archaic Pattern of Animal Exploitation
The origins of the Archaic subsistence pattern in North America are examined by focusing only on the terrestrial faunal procurement system. A model is presented and predictions derived which are then tested on faunal material from Russell Cave (Alabama), Rodgers Shelter (Missouri), and Hogup Cave (Utah). It is argued that the relative abundance of small animals in the prehistoric diet is an index to the natural availability of large species. It i…
