Reply to Doolittle
Doolittle (1989) provides interesting information on pocitos and registros but does not show that they are associated with irrigation agriculture exclusively, nor does he address the main point of our paper — that Hierve el Agua was a salt-producing site. We suggest several criteria for distinguishing salt-production sites from agricultural sites and present some additional observations in support of our interpretation of Hierve el Agua's functio…
Salt Production at Hierve El Agua, Oaxaca
The water control system at Hierve el Agua, Oaxaca, originally described by Neely (1967), has been widely accepted as an early example of crop irrigation. Various lines of evidence including chemical analysis of the water support an alternative hypothesis that the canals and terraces were designed for salt production through solar evaporation
