    Steven R Simm, Steven R Simms et al.ARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology1997Cited by: 1References: 11

    Excavation of a rockshelter in southern Jordan yielded a record of habitation by pastoralists beginning about A.C. 1650 and continuing to the present. Ethnography and oral history associate the site with the Bedul Bedouin of Petra over the past century. The 3.6 m deep deposits yielded seven radiocarbon dates, microbotanical remains, goat and sheep bones, and a variety of artifacts. There was a shift in use of the shelter in the late 17th century …

    One goal of ethnoarchaeology is to strengthen archaeological inferences about the past. A fifteenth-century hunter-gatherer, open site in Utah is used to examine ethnoarchaeological contributions toward determining the use of space, duration of occupation, assemblage composition, and site function. Comparisons between macrorefuse and microrefuse patterning suggest that (1) the distribution of macrorefuse can help identify locations of ephemeral s…

  • Anthropological Applications of Optimal Foraging Theory

    E A Smith, R L Bettinger et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1983

    Recent applications of models of optimal foraging behavior to human foraging economies are summarized and evaluated. These models predict patterns of prey choice, habitat use, time allocation, settlement pattern, and foraging group size that will maximize some objective currency (such as the net rate of energy capture while foraging) under the constraints of resource characteristics and forager capabilities pertaining to a particular situation. I…
