“…Population movements and residential abandonments in the prehistoric U.S. Southwest have been closely examined and correlated at some places and times with changes in climate conditions, especially multi-year dry periods (e.g., Cordell 1975, Euler et al 1979, Dean et al 1985, Minnis 1985, Gumerman 1988, Schlanger 1988, Judge 1989, Lebo 1991, Orcutt 1991, Ahlstrom et al 1995, Lipe 1995, Crown et al 1996, Adams 1998, Van West and Dean 2000, Cordell et al 2007. The importance of migration as an adaptation is highlighted by Cameron (1995:112), who argues that, "Movements of communities within a region, even when such movements have a lengthy periodicity, can be expected to be a normal part of a regional environmental adaptation that involves adjustment of a group's home range."…”
