Notes: A sampler of papers delivered at monthly meetings of the ASW, between 1966 and 1967.  “Most of the papers are concerned, in one way or another, with describing prehistoric settlement systems or explaining changes in such systems–and most of them are consistently based in ecological theory.” (American Antiquity, Volume 35, No. 3, 1970).  The previous owners of this volume were probably primarily interested in a couple of these papers–Dittert and Schoenwetter’s “An Ecological Interpretation of Anasazi Settlement Patterns”, and maybe Sanders’ “Hydraulic Agriculture, Economic Symbiosis and the Evolution of States in Central Mexico.”  If you’d like a full list of the Table of Contents, please email me.
