Dietary Responses to Mid-Holocene Climatic Change
Faunal assemblages from Paleoindian, Early Archaic, and Middle Archaic sites are compared to evaluate changes in diet related to hot and dry Altithermal conditions in the North American Great Plains. Successful completion of this comparison requires that site function and seasonality be controlled. These criteria place serious restrictions on the number of site assemblages suitable for analysis, consequently the site sample is relatively limited.…
Early Archaic Diet in the Tallgrass Prairie and Shortgrass Plains
Faunal assemblages from three Early Archaic sites are compared to evaluate whether or not significant differences in diet can be attributed to geographic variability. The results of this study suggest that geographic variability, specifically that associated with longitude, does not contribute to dietary differences in any significant fashion. Understanding the impact of geographic variability on diet is critical to successfully modeling cultural…
Cultural Responses To The Altithermal Or Inadequate Sampling Reconsidered
Artz (1996) executes a comparison similar to the one used in Sheehan (1995). Using a sample of excavated sites, he obtains significantly different results; however, this strategy disregards legitimate data recovered in surface surveys. A more appropriate approach involves combining the samples derived from surface and excavated contexts. When these samples are combined and analyzed. the results do not deviate significantly from those reported by …
Cultural Responses to The Altithermal or Inadequate Sampling
If Reeves (1973) is correct that sampling errors explain low Early Archaic site frequency in many parts of the Great Plains, then recent research in previously unsurveyed regions should reveal Paleoindian, Early Archaic, and Middle Archaic site frequencies significantly different from those reported by Reeves. A chi-square test indicates significant differences do occur between the frequencyofsites reported by Reeves and those reported by recent …
Cultural responses to the altithermal
The focus of this research is Early Archaic adaptation to the hot and dry Altithermal in the North American Great Plains. The view presented here suggests a direct link between Altithermal climatic conditions and cultural responses to those conditions. Water was a key factor in cultural adaptation to arid Altithermal conditions. Statistical analysis reveals a significant relationship between Early Archaic site location and certain sources of grou…
