Great Basin Foraging in American Antiquity

After school today, I came home to find everyone's favorite academic journal in my mailbox.

I've yet to read them, but there are TWO articles on Great Basin subsistence strategies in the Archaic and Holocene. One by some people from Far Western Anthropological Research Group, CA and one by Bryan Hocket from the Elko BLM. They look interesting.

When/if we have time to read them, they should provide good discussion fodder.

Unless of course, we aren't finished with the Green Hoagie motif....

I thought the article from California was really skewed in it theoretical underpinnings. They've got to move away from ecological determinism. People do "irrational" things for good reasons. The end.

I'm looking forward to the Hockett article. His other work has been hit and miss (I'm looking at you AA Baker Village article).

Isn't that the one about feasting?

Yup, I debunk it in my thesis.
