“…This long and well-established predatorprey relationship would have provided ample opportunity for selective pressures to have been in operation. The archaeological record shows that deer have been the prey of human predators in North America alone for at least 10,000 years (see Adovasio et al 1978). In just the relatively short period of time since the arrival of Europeans, the feeding patterns of North American white-tailed deer have undergone a shift from a primarily diurnal (Rue 1962:33) to crepusular (Taylor 1956: 148) and, even more frequently, nocturnal (D. Harmel 1980, personal communication) schedule.…”

“…Further, similar points, and probably also related, are unifacial points from Meadowcroft rockshelter (Adovasio et al 1975)-now called Mungo points-and Cynthia Irwin-Williams' Valsequillo points from her site in Puebla (Irwin 1967). Further, I believe the pointed flakes from Tibito (Correal 1986) in Colombia, similar ones from the Diablo complex in Mexico (MacNeish 1958), some from the lower levels of Sao Raimundo in Brazil (Guidon 1986), and the lowest level of Las Toldas in Argentina (Cardich et al 1973) are the same type.…”

ix PREFACE I gladly write this preface for whatever success the project has had is in no small way due to the many people who aided it and deserved to be thanked.First and foremost in this realn is Steadman Upham. He not only convinced me that the Jornada region could yield significant data concerning the origin of agriculture in the Southwest, but he even gave me one of his "better" rockshelters, Tornillo, to initiate our excavations. More than tutoring me in Southwestern archaeology, introducing me to local scholars, lending me relevant books, and even letting me analyze his excavated materials, he was a real personal friend and made the project work by his practical assistance First and foremost, he had me appointed adjunct professor at New Mexico State University, with all the privileges that position implied: an office, telephone, storage facilities, use of copiers, and even use of the cafeteria for my crew. When he left the university, we stopped working in the Las Cruces area.Of equal importance was my other top sponsor and archaeological colleague, Patrick Beckett, although my relationship to him was of an entirely different nature. I went to Stead to have a home-cooked meal, while Pat was my drinking buddy. Pat took me in as a friend from the moment we met and found we thought much the same. In addition to giving me his two best sites to dig-Todsen and North Mesa-he introduced me to all the right people and kept me abreast of everything happening in Southwest archaeology. From many standpoints he acted as my partner and certainly deserves credit and none of the blame for whatever good archaeology we did.Of a similar nature was my relationship with David Hill. Besides educating me on Southwest archaeology and digging with my crew, he wrote a major section of this volume. Also of inestimable help with regard to site reports is David Carmichael, my most intense teacher during my first two years in Las Cruces. I owe him a great debt for my education in Jornada archaeology-and many of my best ideas grew out of discussions with him. Also helpful at every turn were local archaeological colleagues-Glen DeGarmo and Paul Lukowski at Fort Bliss. and Tom O'Laughlin. the late Rex Gerald, and Vern Scarborough, then all at UTEP; Brad Blake, Ed Stasky, and the late Fred Plog of NMSU; David Kirkpatrick, Melly Duran, Karl Laumbach, and all the group at Human Systems: and all those doing CRM-David Batchco, Barbara Kaufman, Chris Stevenson, Pete Eidenbach. and Bob Burton. All those others who helped us dig are mentioned and thanked more appropriately in the site reports of this volume rather than in the preface.I also owe a vote of thanks to those who were helpful during the period of analysis and publication. Obviously Peggy Wilner, who ran my lab, is at the top of the list and is a coauthor of Chapter V of this volume. Of similar ilk was Jane Libby, the real editor for this volume, who was not only my constant companion, but our administrator and digger. Also helping with the publication were the various artists who did ...

“…In fact, flawless evidence for the presence of pre-Clovis people in North America is still lacking, although several sites and new data have provided tantalizing but still controversial evidence for their existence (e.g., Adovasio et al 1978Adovasio et al , 1982Alexander 1982;Hall 1996b;Reagan et al 1978;Stanford 1979;Wisner 1996). It is generally assumed that the initial settlement of South America resulted from one or more groups passing through North America via the Beringian Corridor or a North Atlantic route, either by land, boat, or some combination of the two.…”
