Biological Evidence for Pre-Columbian Transoceanic Voyages
Contact and Exchange in the Ancient World
Do civilizations independently invent themselves or are they the result of cultural diffusion? The contributors to this volume do not attempt to provide a definitive answer to this contentious question, one of the most debated issues of the past century. Instead, they shift the focus from theory to reality by presenting empirical evidence on a wide range of cultural phenomena in history and prehistory, thereby demonstrating the processes whereby …
A Bibliography for Yucatan Medicinal Plant Studies by William E. Gates
Mosaic or Patchwork? Canadian Policy toward Sub-Saharan Africa in the 1980s
A Worldwide Evolutionary Classification of Cultures by Subsistence Systems [and Comments and Reply]
Comparative ethnology now provides the data by which all known cultures can be usefully arrayed in an evolutionary series on the basis of their subsistence systems. The isight is an old one, but the massing of evidence about expressive,as well as societal and ecological, patterns which the computer makes possible lends new weight to an evolutionary treatment of cultural variation. The main data for our experiment consisted of the codings for food…
The Social Bases of Instability in Rural Southeast Asia
The terminology employed by most Americans in discussing the rural situation in wartime South Vietnam is revealing. It displays significant underlying assumptions about the nature of rural society there. Military people speak often about or security; civilians in government are more likely to talk of pacification. Behind these terms lies the implicit proposition that if only the violent element represented by the Viet Cong could be removed, local…
Some Field Notes on the Power Structure of the American Anthropological Association
Use of Automated Tools in Archaeology
A device now being used in industry is suggested as a way to automate much of the labor of artifact description and comparison. This is a numerically controlled machine tool, and some problems and possibilities connected with its use are discussed
Rejoinder to Pearsall
Ethnology and Ethnography
Preclassic Metal
The usually accepted earliest date for metal objects in Mesoamerica is the 8th century A.D. (Copan and Tazumal). There are, however, two occurrences reported in the literature which seem to have been ignored despite apparent ages much before this. One is reported found by Cummings at Cuicuilco in 1924-25. In part his account reads, '... resting upon the top of the horseshoe-shaped walls were the fragments of a copper wand that had been made of th…
