We focus on episodic transitions to compare regional trajectories in the Mixteca Alta and elsewhere in Oaxaca. The regularities in settlement pattern changes over so large an area suggest a common causal chain. The project was a full-coverage survey that recorded over 1000 sites in a 10-valley macroregion. The project boundaries adjoined prior surveys, thereby offering the widest available scale of analysis. Mixteca Alta and Valley of Oaxaca survey blocks were conjoined into a single universe of sites. Significant results included the high regional population densities for the earliest settled villages; the eventual consolidation of some extended communities into urban and state societies' the eventual consolidation of some extended communities into urban and state societies; the timing and spread of urbanism into adjacent valleys; and the variation and interconnections among late Prehispanic settlements. We conclude that changing community patterns in the Mixteca Alta arose from the interplay of societies on both regional and macroregional scales. Our results underscore the need for still larger spatial perspectives on early civilizations MH - Mexico|Distrito Federal MH - USA PB - BOSTON: JOURNAL FIELD ARCHAEOLOGY RP - NOT IN FILE U3 - TC 9 U4 - Archaeology U5 - J;Article AV - English IS - 0093-4690 UR - ISI:000177474700001 SO - Journal of Field Archaeology 2000 ;27(4):365-389 2 UI - 65 AU - Barahona Echeverria A AU - Ayala FJ AD - Univ Nacl Autonoma Mexico, Dept Biol, Mexico City 14410, DF, MexicoUniv Calif Irvine, Dept Ecol & Evolutionary Biol, Irvine, CA 92697, USABarahona Echeverria, A, Univ Nacl Autonoma Mexico, Dept Biol, Mexico City 14410, DF, Mexico TI - Francisco J.

Evidence for wetland cultivation systems, in the form of drained or channelized fields, and raised planting platforms, has been restricted primarily to the southern Maya Lowlands. New research in the Talahan region of Quintana Roo, Mexico, has recorded evidence for wetland manipulation in the far northern lowlands, in the form of rock alignments that apparently functioned to control water movement and soil accumulation in seasonally inundated areas. Nearby ancient settlements date primarily to the Late Preclassic period (ca. 100 BC 50 AC 350), and this age is tentatively attributed to wetland management in the area MH - Denmark MH - Mexico|Veracruz MH - Mexico|Yucatan MH - USA PB - BOSTON: JOURNAL FIELD ARCHAEOLOGY RP - NOT IN FILE U3 - TC 7 U4 - Archaeology U5 - J;Review AV - English IS - 0093-4690 UR - ISI:000169877900002 SO - Journal of Field Archaeology 2000 ;27(2):131-152 4 UI - 64 AU - Molina Gavilan Y AU - Fernandez Delgado MA AU - Bell A AU - Pestarini L AU - Toledano JC AD - Eckerd Coll, St Petersburg, FL 33733, USAColegio Mexico, Mexico City 10740, DF, MexicoHamline Univ, St Paul, MN 55104, USAFlorida Int Univ, Miami, FL 33199, USAMolina Gavilan, Y, Eckerd Coll, St Petersburg, FL 33733, USA TI - Chronology of Latin American science fiction, 1775-1999 (A bibliography) MH - Mexico|Distrito Federal MH - USA PB - ATHENS: UNIV GEORGIA RP - NOT IN FILE U3 - TC 1 U4 - Literary Reviews U5 - J;Bibliography AV - Spanish IS - 0145-8973 UR - ISI:000165591800004 SO - Chasqui-Revista de Literatura Latinoamericana 2000 ;29(2):43-72 5 UI - 67 AU - Porcasi JF AU - Fujita H AD - Univ Calif Los Angeles, CotsenInst Archaeol, Zooarchaeol Lab, Los Angeles, CA 90024, USAInst Nacl Antropol & Hist, La Paz 23000, Baja California, MexicoPorcasi, JF, Univ Calif Los Angeles, CotsenInst Archaeol, Zooarchaeol Lab, Los Angeles, CA 90024 USA TI - The dolphin hunters: A specialized prehistoric maritime adaptation in the Southern California Channel Islands and Baja California AB - Synthesis of faunal collections from several archaeological sites on the three southernmost California Channel islands and one in the Cape Region of Baja California reveals a distinctive maritime adaptation more heavily reliant on the capture of pelagic dolphins than on near-shore pinnipeds. Previous reports from other Southern California coastal sites suggest that dolphin hunting may have occurred there but to a lesser extent, While these findings may represent localized adaptations to special conditions on these islands and the Cape Region, they call for reassessment of the conventionally held concept that pinnipeds were invariably the primary mammalian food resource for coastal peoples. Evidence of the intensive use of small cetaceans is antithetical to the accepted models of maritime optimal foraging which assume that shore-based or near-shore marine mammals (i.e., pinnipeds) would be the highest-ranked prey because they were readily encountered and captured. While methods of dolphin hunting remain archaeologically invisible, several island cultures in which dolphin were intensively exploited by people using primitive watercraft and little or no weaponry are presented as possible analogs to a prehistoric Southern California dolphin-hunting technique. These findings also indicate that dolphin hunting was probably a cooperative endeavor among various members of the prehistoric community MH - USA MH - Mexico|Baja California PB - WASHINGTON: SOC AMER ARCHAEOLOGY RP - NOT IN FILE U3 - TC 10 U4 - Anthropology;Archaeology U5 - J;Review AV - English IS - 0002-7316 UR - ISI:000088979600008 SO - American Antiquity 2000 ;65(3):543-566 6 UI - 66 AU - Price TD AU - Manzanilla L AU - Middleton WD AD - Univ Wisconsin, Lab Archaeol Chem, Madison, WI 53706, USAUniv Nacl Autonoma Mexico, Mexico City 04510, DF, MexicoField Museum, Chicago, IL, USAPrice, TD, Univ Wisconsin, Lab Archaeol Chem, Madison, WI 53706, USA TI - Immigration and the ancient city of Teotihuacan in Mexico: A study using strontium isotope ratios in human bone and teeth AB - Teotihuacan, in highland Mexico, is the earliest and largest prehispanic city in the New World, occupied primarily between AD1 and AD650. There are many distinctive areas within the city limits, including major ceremonial precincts, large pyramids and temples, residential areas, exchange sectors, thousands of residential compounds, and tunnels under the northern half of the city. Some of these residential compounds contain non-local architecture, artefacts, and burial arrangements known from areas on the Gulf Coast and in Oaxaca. The identity of the residents of these "foreign" compounds is uncertain. Were these local individuals adopting foreign customs, recent immigrants to the city, or a mix of locals and outsiders? After the fall of Teotihuacan, people with Coyotlatelco culture came to the city and contributed to its extensive looting. Some scholars have proposed a northern or western origin for these groups. We have measured the strontium isotope ratios (Sr-87/Sr-86) in human bone and tooth enamel from individuals buried in various areas of the city for information on their original place of birth. Strontium isotope ratios are signatures for local geologies. Strontium in human bone and tooth enamel comes from the food growing in local geologies. Strontium isotope ratios in human bone reflect the source of a diet around the time of death; ratios in tooth enamel reflect the source of the diet around the time of birth. Differences between enamel and bone ratios in the same individual indicate differences in local geologies and thus a change in residence. Our study indicates that a number of the individuals were born outside the city. Comparison with other isotopic methods for assessing residential change is also made.

Only in the last twenty years have conditions emerged that allow archaeologists to investigate readily the settlement and subsistence patterns that sustained the rise of the La Venta urban center. Recent studies at the site of Isla Alor demonstrate that a wide range of useful data can be recovered from domestic sites that formed the base of the regional settlement hierarchy of the La Venta hinterland. Isla Alor provides primary evidence of household activities, including ceramics, obsidian tools, and subsistence resources.

This man-made structure is one of the many extraction tunnels hollowed by the ancient Teotihuacans to obtain construction materials to build their city. Total field and high-resolution vertical gradient magnetic surveys were carried out. The spectral analysis of the total magnetic field enabled us to estimate the thickness of the alluvial cover over the basaltic flow as 3.3 m. It was also found that the main contribution to the observed magnetic field comes from the pyroclastic flow that covers the area of study. The horizontal gradient filter was applied to the low-pass filtered magnetic field to enhance magnetic contacts and structural boundaries. Inferred magnetic trends were related to fracture patterns within the basalts and pyroclasts, and low gradients provided an evidence of voids or tunnels. The Euler deconvolution method was applied as an attempt to confirm the above results. Using a structural index S=0, we determined the boundaries of main magnetic contacts as well as the interface between the basaltic flow and Las Varillas tunnel. Euler depths were found to range between 3 to 6 m, which represent the mean thickness of the basaltic flow. Tow parallel ground probing radar (GPR) profiles were surveyed in the NW-SE direction. One passes on top of the known location of a tunnel (Las Varillas) and a second one 10 m to the north, approximately. The tunnel's roof is well outlined at depths between 3.5 and 4 m. On the other hand, little evidences of other buried tunnels or extensions of the known one were found. The second profile depicts a more complex morphology for the pyroclastic sheet. Anomalies related to basaltic flow or eruptive centres are clearly observed. Both profiles depicted the sedimentary base at 3 m, on average. A resistivity profile was undertaken along the first GPR profile. A resistivity image was obtained, that showed the vertical and lateral distribution of the true resistivity. High resistivity values were associated with the tunnel location (Las Varillas). Its geometry could also be inferred, its top is found at about 4 m and extends 20 m in the profile direction to the west. Unfortunately, the depth to its base could not be estimated, since profile length was too short. The sediment-pyroclastic flow interface could also be delimited at a dept of 3 m. Finally, a vertical magnetic field profile taken along the same surveyed line (GPR and resistivity) was inverted applying a two-dimensional algorithm. The initial model was estimated from GPR and resistivity interpretations. A simple model of Las Varillas tunnel was computed, which reasonably well satisfied geological and geophysical considerations MH - Mexico|Distrito Federal MH - Spain PB - LONDON: ACADEMIC PRESS LTD ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD RP - NOT IN FILE U3 - TC 5 U4 - Anthropology;Archaeology;Geosciences, Multidisciplinary U5 - J;Article AV - English IS - 0305-4403 UR - ISI:000173328800002 SO - Journal of Archaeological Science 2001 ;28(12):1265-1276 12 UI - 55 AU - Joyce AA AU - Bustamante LA AU - Levine MN AD - Univ Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309, USAEscuela Nacl Antropologia & Hist, Mexico City, DF, MexicoJoyce, AA, Univ Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309, USA TI - Commoner power: A case study from the classic period collapse on the Oaxaca Coast AB - This article argues that the agency of commoners has not been adequately theorized in archaeological studies of the political dynamics of complex societies. Recent developments in social theory emphasize that political relations are produced through social negotiations involving commoners as well as elites. This paper considers the role of commoners in the Classic period collapse in the lower Rio Verde Valley, Oaxaca, Mexico. Regional survey and excavation data demonstrate that the Classic-to-Postclassic transition was marked by dramatic changes in settlement patterns and sociopolitical organization, including the decline of the late Classic regional center of Rio Viejo. The research indicates that rather than passively reacting to the sociopolitical developments of the Classic-to-Postclassic transition, commoners actively rejected many of the ruling institutions and symbols that were central to the dominant ideology of the Late Classic state. Early Postclassic people reused and reinterpreted the sacred spaces and objects of the Rio Viejo state such as carved stone monuments and public buildings. The evidence from the lower Verde is examined in the context of the emerging theoretical perspective in archaeology that considers commoner power. We argue that commoners contribute to the social negotiation of dominant discourses through three overlapping forms of social interaction; engagement, avoidance, and resistance MH - Mexico|Distrito Federal MH - USA PB - NEW YORK: KLUWER ACADEMIC/PLENUM PUBL RP - NOT IN FILE U3 - TC 8 U4 - Archaeology U5 - J;Review AV - English IS - 1072-5369 UR - ISI:000173619600002 SO - Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory 2001 ;8(4):343-385 13 UI - 35 AU - Lopez Varela SL AU - McAnany PA AU - Berry KA AD - Univ Autonoma Estado Morelos, Cuernavaca, Morelos, MexicoBoston Univ, Boston, MA 02215, USALopez Varela, SL, Univ Autonoma Estado Morelos, Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico TI - Ceramics technology at Late Classic Kaxob, Belize AB - Excavation of a Late Classic Maya platform at Kaxob, Belize, has revealed a suite of pit features and associated artifacts that are strongly suggestive of pottery production. Interpretation of the features as remnants of pit kilns used to fire pottery is bolstered by comparanda from the Andean region. Archaeometric and experimental replication studies also support the interpretation of this locale as one of pottery fabrication. Findings discussed include features identified as kilns, raw material suitable for temper, lumps of fired clay, ground stone, and expedient clay-working tools made of recycled pottery sherds.

Considering pottery as a tool is by no means an easy task and requires, for its study, significant methodological innovation. The Kaxob pottery tools demanded a comprehensive study to determine their use and function within this widespread economic activity. Research presented here incorporated fabrication of replicas of archaeological pottery tools and their experimental use for the making of ceramic vessels. Combined microscopic analysis of archaeological and fabricated tools defined and reproduced wear traces from use activities.

Analytic metaphysicians such as Kripke, Putnam and Wiggins, on the other hand, believe that their essentialist theses are applicable to biological kinds. I explore this tension. I show that standard anti-essentialist considerations only show that species do not have intrinsic essential properties. I argue that while Putnam and Kripke do make assumptions that contradict received biological opinion, their model of natural kinds, suitably modified, is partially applicable to biological species. However, Wiggins' thesis that organisms belong essentially to their species is untenable, given modern species concepts. I suggest that Putnam's, Kripke's and Wiggins' errors stem from adopting an account of the point of scientific classification which implies that relationally-defined kinds are likely to be of little value, an account which is inapplicable to biology MH - United Kingdom MH - Mexico|Distrito Federal PB - DORDRECHT: KLUWER ACADEMIC PUBL RP - NOT IN FILE U3 - TC 3 U4 - History & Philosophy Of Science U5 - J;Article NT - one author AV - English IS - 0039-7857 UR - ISI:000175925200003 SO - Synthese 2002 ;131(2):191-213 16 UI - 51 AU - Okasha S AD - Univ York, York YO1 5DD, N Yorkshire, EnglandUniv Nacl Autonoma Mexico, Mexico City 04510, DF, MexicoOkasha, S, Univ York, York YO1 5DD, N Yorkshire, England TI - Underdetermination, holism and the theory/data distinction AB - I examine the argument that scientific theories are typically 'underdetermined' by the data, an argument which has often been used to combat scientific realism.

I discuss possible responses to both objections, and argue that in both cases the proponent of underdetermination can respond in ways which are individually plausible, but that the best response to the first objection conflicts with the best response to the second.

It can occur without the intention to create syntactic parallelism and without specific pragmatic, thematic, and lexical support across utterances. To explore whether it can also occur without specific language support, when the source of priming is an utterance in a different language, we investigated structural priming in fluent German-English bilinguals. After producing a designated sentence in either their first (German) or second (English) language, speakers extemporaneously described an unrelated pictured event in the other language. The primed constructions were datives (prepositional and double-object datives) and transitives (actives and passives). The results showed that the production of German dative sentences primed the subsequent use of English datives, and the production of English datives primed German datives. German and English passives with different structures did not prime one another. The results offer evidence for a structural source of priming and suggest a common psycholinguistic scaffolding for the bilingual phenomena of codeswitching and transfer. More broadly, they support the argument for basic psycholinguistic continuities among language learning, normal and bilingual language use, and language change MH - Mexico|Chiapas MH - USA PB - BERLIN: MOUTON DE GRUYTER RP - NOT IN FILE U3 - TC 20 U4 - Linguistics;Language & Linguistics U5 - J;Article AV - English IS - 0024-3949 UR - ISI:000187288400002 SO - Linguistics 2003 ;41(5):791-824 26 UI - 41 AU - Okasha S AD - Univ Nacl Autonoma Mexico, Inst Invest Filosof, Mexico City 04510, DF, MexicoUniv York, York YO10 5DD, N Yorkshire, EnglandOkasha, S, Univ Nacl Autonoma Mexico, Inst Invest Filosof, Ciudad Univ, Mexico City 04510, DF, Mexico TI - The concept of group heritability AB - This paper investigates the role of the concept of group heritability in group selection theory, in relation to the well-known distinction between 'type 1' and 'type 2' group selection ('GS1' and 'GS2').

Contra Leda Cosmides and John Tooby, Fodor argues (i) there is no reason to think that human cognition is a Darwinian adaptation in the first place, and (ii) there is no valid inference from adaptationism about the mind to massive modularity. However, Fodor maintains (iii) that there is a valid inference in the converse direction, from modularity to adaptationism, but (iv) that the language module is an exception to the validity of this inference. I explore Fodor's arguments for each of these claims, and the interrelations between them. I argue that Fodor is incorrect on point (i), correct on point (ii), partially correct on point (iii), and incorrect on point (iv).

Now, the unsystematic collection of 103 incised stones from Pelillal, Coahuila confirms that at least two technically and iconographically distinct types of mobiliary art were produced by the prehistoric hunters and gatherers of north central Mexico. The simpler stones bear incised linear designs, some of which are comparable to the Loma San Pedro style at Boca de Potrerillos where they were dated to between 230 and 950 B.P At least 18 of the stones bear some portion of a butterfly-vulva form design, sometimes woven into a more elaborate and complex pattern, typical of the Coconos style. The sexual connotations of the vulva form and the transformational implications of the butterfly theme suggest that these objects were used in puberty or fertility rites, probably during the Archaic period or Coahuila Complex, ca. 5000 B.P MH - Mexico|Coahuila MH - USA PB - LINCOLN: PLAINS ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOC RP - NOT IN FILE U3 - TC 1 U4 - Anthropology U5 - J;Article AV - English IS - 0032-0447 UR - ISI:000184700600005 SO - Plains Anthropologist 2003 ;48(187):255-261 30 UI - 42 AU - Vergara-Silva F AD - Univ Nacl Autonoma Mexico, Inst Ecol, Dept Ecol Evolut, Lab Genet Mol & Evoluc, Mexico City 04510, DF, MexicoVergara-Silva, F, Uppsala Univ, Evolutionary Biol Ctr, Dept Physiol Bot, S-75236 Uppsala, Sweden TI - Plants and the conceptual articulation of evolutionary developmental biology MH - Mexico|Distrito Federal MH - Sweden PB - DORDRECHT: KLUWER ACADEMIC PUBL RP - NOT IN FILE U3 - TC 11 U4 - History & Philosophy Of Science U5 - J;Review NT - one author AV - English IS - 0169-3867 UR - ISI:000183112900003 SO - Biology & Philosophy 2003 ;18(2):249-284 31 UI - 40 AU - Weiner DB AU - Sauter MJ AD - Univ Calif Los Angeles, Dept Hist, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USACIDE, Program Sci & Technol, Mexico City, DF, MexicoWeiner, DB, Univ Calif Los Angeles, Dept Hist, Bunche Hall, Los Angeles, CA 90095 USA TI - The city of Paris and the rise of clinical medicine AB - This article argues that the city of Paris played a unique role in shaping clinical medicine at the Paris hospital at the turn of the nineteenth century. Under outstanding clinicians such as Corvisart, Pinel, Bichat, Desault, Alibert, Bayle, and Laennec, who headed the "Paris School," teaching and research became hospital-based. New methods such as percussion, mediate auscultation, and psychological evaluation were introduced, and autopsies became routine. Chaptal, a physician and minister of internal affairs under the Consulate, played a key role by creating the Paris Hospital and Health Councils, the Central Pharmacy, and central triage for hospital admissions. These municipal councils supervised the practice and teaching of anatomo-clinical medicine and the concomitant social changes involved in the delivery of health care to a city of six hundred thousand inhabitants. These changes included the orderly provision of bodies for dissection, the subordination of nurses to physicians, the teaching of preclinical courses, and the adaptaion of the confiscated religious buildings to house patients grouped according to their diseases. The new arrangements fostered the rise of medical specialties, including public health, practiced by hygienists who turned Paris itself into a patient MH - USA MH - Mexico|Distrito Federal PB - CHICAGO: UNIV CHICAGO PRESS RP - NOT IN FILE U3 - TC 1 U4 - History & Philosophy Of Science U5 - J;Article AV - English IS - 0369-7827 UR - ISI:000184566800002 SO - Osiris 2003 ;18():23-42 32 UI - 23 AU - Carmagnani M AD - Univ Turin, I-10124 Turin, ItalyUniv Nacl Autonoma Mexico, Mexico City, DF, MexicoCarmagnani, M, Univ Turin, I-10124 Turin, Italy TI - Mexico, from the beginning to the Spanish conquest MH - Italy MH - Mexico|Distrito Federal PB - BERKELEY: UNIV CALIF PRESS RP - NOT IN FILE U3 - TC 0 U4 - History U5 - J;Book Review NT - one author AV - Spanish IS - 0742-9797 UR - ISI:000221249300008 SO - Mexican Studies-Estudios Mexicanos 2004 ;20(1):167-174 33 UI - 24 AU - Carmagnani M AD - Univ Turin, I-10124 Turin, ItalyColegio Mexico, Mexico City, DF, MexicoCarmagnani, M, Univ Turin, I-10124 Turin, Italy TI - Mexico.

Anthropological studies have shown that high church-formation rates are related to Pentecostal asceticism and organizational flexibility. Rural Pentecostal migrants in Mexican cities retain a worldview that is largely centered on the work ethic and proscriptions of costly worldly behaviors.

These approaches have, however, generally neglected. the implications of a primordial form of spiritual healing-shamanism. Cross-cultural studies establish the universality of shamanic practices in hunter-gatherer societies around the world and across time. These universal principles of shamanism reflect underlying neurological processes and provide a basis for an evolutionary theology. The shamanic paradigm involves basic brain processes, neurognostic structures, and innate brain modules. This approach that universals of shamanism such as animism, totemism, soul flight, animal spirits, and death-and-rebirth experiences reflect fundamental brain operations and structures of consciousness. The shamanic paradigm can contribute to a reconciliation of scientific and religious perspectives by providing a universalistic biopsychosocial framework that explicates the biological underpinnings of spiritual experiences and practices and provides a basis for neurotheology and evolutionary theology approaches MH - Mexico|Baja California MH - USA PB - MALDEN: BLACKWELL PUBLISHERS RP - NOT IN FILE U3 - TC 1 U4 - Social Issues;Religion U5 - J;Article NT - one author AV - English IS - 0591-2385 UR - ISI:000189314900013 SO - Zygon 2004 ;39(1):193-217 41 UI - 15 AU - Chavez RE AU - Camara ME AU - Ponce R AU - Argote D AD - Natl Autonomous Univ Mexico, Inst Geofis, Dept Explorac, Mexico City 04510, DF, MexicoUniv Politecn Madrid, Escuela Tecn Super Ingn Ind, Madrid, SpainChavez, RE, Natl Autonomous Univ Mexico, Inst Geofis, Dept Explorac, Cd Univ,Circuito Exterior S-N, Mexico City 04510, DF, Mexico TI - Use of geophysical methods in urban archaeological prospection: The Basilica de Nuestra Senora de la Salud, Patzcuaro, Mexico AB - The purpose of this investigation was to locate the foundations of an ancient wing of the Basilica de Nuestra Se (n) over tilde ora de la Salud, which, according to historical documents, was part of this 16th-century structure. The site was located within the southern vestibule of the Basilica. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and vertical magnetic gradient (VMG) field methods were employed. The geophysical survey consisted of 20 GPR profiles measured in the study area. A series of 16 VMG profiles was also surveyed. The GPR studies located a linear reflector going in a NE-SW direction, with an angle of almost 45 degrees. The VMG made it possible to identify a rectangular pattern and other features that are probably associated with either collapsed portions of the foundations or Pre-Hispanic remains. These results confirmed the presence of the reflector found with GPR, as well as other features of interest.

That migration is believed to have occurred around A.D. 1300-1500, either at the zenith or during the decline of the Casas Grandes culture. However recent excavations along the Rio Bavispe in northeast Sonora show that developments in polychrome pottery, domestic architecture, and possibly community architecture parallel the pattern found in northwest Chihuahua during the A.D. 1000-1200 period, before the type site of the Casas Grandes culture, Paquime, was founded. This surprising result demonstrates that the role of long-term regional interaction needs to be considered in shaping both areas.

These analyses rendered data related to both paleoenvironmental and plant cultivation in the area. Preliminary pollen analyses of soil sediments suggest Agave sp. and Opuntia spp. cultivation played an important role on the terraces. The phytolith analyses recovered abundant, well preserved grass phytoliths, including Zea mays. The composition of the grass community suggests that paleoenvironmental conditions in this area were warm and dry, similar to those of today. The presence of three fresh water diatom taxa and sponge spicules in several archaeological soil samples suggests the possibility that water was carried to the terraces for irrigation from the nearby Rio Malpaso on a regular basis.
