  • Black Boxes and Multiple Working Hypotheses: Reconstructing the Economy of Early Southwest Hunters

    Cynthia Irwin-Williams, Cynthia Irwin‐WilliamsARTICLEKIVA1977Cited by: 1References: 13

    Deductive models for the reconstruction of the economy of early hunters and gatherers may originate in numerous ways. However, they are most frequently derived from the ethnographic record, less often from large scale systematic bodies of thought such as General Systems Theory or Game Theory. It is argued that models abstracted directly from observations concerning ethnographic hunters and gatherers may or may not have an isomorphic or even homom…

  • Climatic Change and Early Population Dynamics in the Southwestern United States

    Open AccessCynthia Irwin-Williams, Cynthia Irwin‐Williams et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1970

    It is becoming increasingly apparent that the pattern of early human occupation of the Southwestern United States was strongly influenced by the major paleoclimatic events of the period 9500 B.C. to A.D. 700. The size of human populations and the distribution of human settlement at both the regional-topographic and large-scale areal level, known from archaeological research, are directly correlated to climatic change documented by the evidence of…

  • The Use of a Simple Water Level as an Intrasite Leveling Device

    Open AccessCynthia Irwin-Williams, Cynthia Irwin‐WilliamsARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1970Cited by: 2

    A simple flexible tube-type carpenter's water level is applied to problems of intrasite leveling in archaeology. The construction and use of the level are discussed

  • Picosa: The Elementary Southwestern Culture

    Open AccessCynthia Irwin‐william, Cynthia Irwin-Williams et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1967Cited by: 10References: 15

    Picosa is defined as a continuum of similar closely related preceramic cultures existing in the southwestern United States during the last three millennia before Christ. It is seen as representing the elementary period of the development of the Southwest as a discrete culture area and is believed to be the result of a cultural synthesis of uniform developments originating as early as 8000 B.C. Although similar to the Desert culture in a culture-t…
