Cultigens in Prehistoric Eastern North America
Revisionist Anthropology
Anthropological discussions of North American Indians and archaeological interpretation of North American prehistory tend to be distorted by biases, some the "cant of conquest," others derived from the structuring principles of the European tradition. Tripartite schemata such as the Three-Age model and premises of oppositional dualism such as the contrast between primitive and civilized should be assumed to come from these structuring principles …

Pre-Columbian Old World Coins in America
Does the occasional find of a Roman, Greek, or Hebrew coin in America indicate ancient transoceanic contact? In this study, 40 reports of such coins are analyzed in order to determine whether any can support the diffusionist position. Discovery dates, minting periods, geographical distribution, and the absence of prehistoric context all suggest that the coins were lost very recently. For those who argue that coins found in fields and farmyards ma…

Steps Toward a Unified Anthropology [and Comments and Reply]
It is generally recognized that there exists currently a strong trend toward the "fractionation" of anthropology and the "absorption" of its several subdivisions into other disciplines. On the other hand, if we are striving for a balanced perspective on present-day anthropology we should not ignore a concurrent movement toward the integration of biological and sociocultural anthropology into a unified science. In this paper an attempt is made to …

Pleistocene Man at San Diego
Miller and Johnson's review of Pleistocene Man at San Diego seriously misrepresents the work in question. It is not the principal contention of the book that man lived in the San Diego area in the last interglacial, and that the age of the last interglacial is 100,000 years ago. By focussing on this, a most incomplete view is given of the archaeological section of the book

Pleistocene Man at San Diego
The Humid Soil
pEDOLOGY is a young science. It began with description, and it has centered on the mid-latitudes. Soils were first described and classified morphologically; the study of process came later. Pedologists became well acquainted with mid-latitude soils and had a fair understanding of the processes that produced them, but of tropical soils they had only a dim idea. They understood these soils to be very different from the soils familiar to them, and t…

The Role of Plants in Geography
PLANT geography has been a neglected branch of our science. This is strange; for not only is it a fascinating study in itself, but both historically and philosophically it is a part of geography. Alexander von Humboldt, who with Ritter founded modem geography, is widely known as the father of geography; De Candolle, who did classic work in the nineteenth century on the origins of cultivated plants, was considered a geographer; and some of the rec…

Interglacial Artifacts from the San Diego Area
Evidence for Pleistocene Man in Southern California
IT IS well known that the sea margin was a superior location for primitive man. In an area so situated that it has remained near the shore despite fluctuations of level, one might expect to find a relatively long and complete record of early man. At LaJolla, Calif, there is such a site. Vertical fluctuations of 300 feet would move the shore line only a small distance laterally-not more than three-quarters of a mile. At the base of the 300-foot sc…

Archaeological Notes on a Midden at Point Sal
Point Sal is 50 miles north of Santa Barbara, and represents a seaward projection of the Casmalia Hills. Two and a half miles inland from the sea, at an elevation of 1100 feet, there occurs a large flowing spring. On the bench below this spring there is an extensive shell midden of the general type described by D. B. Rogers for the area south of here. Excavation on this site was limited to four small test pits and to the removal of a group of bur…

T 4 aHE death of Dr. Clark Wissler in New York City on August 25, 1947, was a loss not only to American anthropology but also to American geography. Wissler had long given special attention to two problems of importance to human geography. These were the nature of the relation of man and culture to physical environment, and the related question of the discovery and delimiting of cultural areas or, in geographical parlance, regions.

Sweet Corn among the Indians
T HE question of the pre-Columbian existence of among the American Indians has been under discussion, in which its early history and probable role in Indian agriculture are clouded unnecessarily.' In the United States the term sweet corn evokes pleasant thoughts of fresh maize as a delicious vegetable. Botanically, is Zea mays saccharata. The basic difference between other and is that the latter has lost the ability to convert its sugary endosper…

Plants Across the Pacific
The Value of plant evidence has been pointed out. Man does not invent plants. The identical plant in cultivation in pre-Columbian times in the Old World and the New World virtually proves that voyages were made between these two cultural worlds. “Virtually proves” because the domestic plants in question have at best only remote possibilities of being carried to or from America by natural means and even less possibility of parallel evolution to bo…

Disharmony between Asiatic Flower-Birds and American Bird-Flowers
L. van der Pijl published an article with the above title in the Annates du Jardin Botanitjue de Buitenzorg (Vol. 68, Part 1, 1937, pp. 17-26, 6 plates). He has written to me to call my attention to it because of the striking way in which it corroborates O. F. Cook's idea that some useful American plants, among them the Hibiscus, were carried to Asia in pre-Columbian times. I have recently reviewed some of Cook's ideas (Carter 1950, 1953) on this…
