Sutton."This book brings together the work of archaeologists investigating prehistoric hunter-gatherers (foragers) and early farmers in both the Southwest and the Great Basin. Most previous work on this topic has been regionally specific, with researchers from each area favoring a different theoretical approach and little shared dialogue. Here the studies of archaeologists working in both the Southwest and the Great Basin are presented side by side to illustrate the similarities in environmental challenges and cultural practices of the prehistoric peoples who lived in these areas and to explore common research questions addressed by both regions. Three main themes link these papers: the role of the environment in shaping prehistoric behavior, flexibility in foraging and farming adaptations, and diversity in settlement strategies. Contributors cover a range of topics including the varied ways hunter-gatherers adapted to arid environments, the transition from hunting and gathering to farming and the reasons for it, the variation in early farmers across the Southwest and Great Basin, and the differing paths followed as they developed settled villages"--Provided by publisher.Indians of North AmericaWest (U.S.)AntiquitiesPrehistoric peoplesWest (U.S.)Hunting and gathering societiesWest (U.S.)HistoryAgriculture, PrehistoricWest (U.S.)Desert peopleWest (U.S.)HistoryLand settlementWest (U.S.)HistoryEnvironmental archaeologyWest (U.S.)Social archaeologyWest (U.S.)Southwest, NewAntiquitiesGreat BasinAntiquitiesElectronic books.Indians of North AmericaAntiquities.Prehistoric peoplesHunting and gathering societiesHistory.Agriculture, PrehistoricDesert peopleHistory.Land settlementHistory.Environmental archaeologySocial archaeology979.00497Roth Barbara J.1958-McBrinn MaxineMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910158566403321Late Holocene Research on Foragers and Farmers in the Desert West2009192UNINA01839oam 2200481Ia 450 991069689500332120080724092255.0(CKB)5470000002381927(OCoLC)228428895(EXLCZ)99547000000238192720080521d2008 ua 0engurmn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe U.S. organic handling sector in 2004[electronic resource]baseline findings for the nationwide survey of organic manufacturers, processors, and distributors /Carolyn Dimitri and Lydia Oberholtzer[Washington, DC] :U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, [Resource Economics Division],[2008]29 pages digital, PDF fileEconomic information bulletin ;no. 36Title from title screen (viewed May 19, 2008)."May 2008."Includes bibliographical references (page 29).U.S. organic handling sector in 2004 Organic farmingUnited StatesStatisticsOrganic farmingGovernment policyUnited StatesFood industry and tradeUnited StatesNatural foodsUnited StatesStatistics.lcgftOrganic farmingOrganic farmingGovernment policyFood industry and tradeNatural foodsDimitri Carolyn1383604Oberholtzer Lydia1418473United States.Department of Agriculture.Economic Research Service.GAOGAOGPOBOOK9910696895003321The U.S. organic handling sector in 20043530039UNINA
