Synopsis

These essays deal with methodological and theoretical issues addressed by the Black Mesa Archaeological Project, 1976?81.

 

Introductory and concluding chapters by Stephen Plog and Shirley Powell dis­cuss the history of archaeological re­search on Black Mesa. The rest of the book centers on four general topics.

 

Papers by Alan T. Synenki and by Powell and Anthony L. Klesert consider the measurement of relationships be­tween surface and subsurface deposits. Essays by Kathy Bagley Baumgartner, Shereen Lerner, and Powell discuss func­tional interpretations of material re­mains. Analyses of the environment of the study area and the procurement of food are presented by Richard I. Ford, Michele Semé, and David Eckles. Trade relationships between groups on north­ern Black Mesa and groups in surround­ing regions are explored by Margerie Green and Katharine W. Fernstrom.
