Pans and a Grain of Salt
Yerkes's comments fail to place my article in its context of other research on the lower Ohio Valley. He reacts more to what he thinks I believe than to what I actually wrote. Yerkes seems to want to identify Mississippian specialization on the basis of artifact traits rather than on the basis of actual organization of production. Moreover, he does not present any additional significant evidence to support the idea that true specialization was pr…
Mississippian Specialization and Salt
Despite a tendency to treat Mississippian production as involving specialization, little effort has been made to test these proposals in actual field work. A distinction between specialization at a site and specialization of producers is made in this article and applied to materials from the Great Salt Spring, a Mississippian salt production site in southern Illinois. Testing and excavations in 1981 and 1982 show that this was a true limited acti…

Behavioral Analysis and the Structure of a Prehistoric Industry [and Comments and Reply]
Assuming that aboriginal behavior was recorded on chipped-stone implements and debitage, and assuming that the analyst can train himself to recognize and interpret that record, then a classification of lithic artifacts based on manufacturing behavior may be considered an inherent classification. Lithic behavioral classification is examined from the perspective of other archaeological classifications as well as from general taxonomic theory. Advan…

A Comment on Ford's Review of Early Formative Period of Coastal Ecuador
Ford"s conclusions that a substantial reevaluation of New World prehistory is required are not fully justified. In the first place, the Valdivia complex has not clearly been shown to be the source for all New World ceramics. Second, the comparisons of Valdivia and Jomon potsherds are not so tightly controlled as Ford indicates. Given the great variety of ceramic decoration in Japan, it is not surprising that many similarities should exist. In add…

Notes on the White Earth Creek Site (32MN2)
The White Earth Creek Site, partially excavated by Thad. C. Hecker in 1938, is important because of its location well north of most other fortified sites in the northern Great Plains. The site is also unusual in that it consists of a fortification without any indication of permanent structures within the ditch and palisade. Data collected by Hecker are discussed in terms of the contribution which they can make to our picture of North Dakota abori…

Nacireman Academies Dysfunctional? A Rejoinder
Careful analysis of Nacireman academies does not bear out the conclusion of Walker (1970) that these are dysfunctional. Indeed, they are an integral part of Nacireman age‐grade structure and play an important role in initiation into a Nacireman adult age‐grade
