Notes: “The philosophy of SARG is a natural outgrowth of at least two converging trends in American archaeology.  One is the movement away from ‘one-man scholarship’ to large, co-operative interdisciplinary projects addressing questions concerning human behavior with the framework of a cultural system.  The other…is the shrinking of financial resources…available for the testing of questions regarding human behavior that archaeologists have said are their concern.” (From the Introduction)
