Notes: Research Reports in Archaeology, Contribution 12.  Museum of Anthropology, University of Michigan Technical Reports Number 17.  “Driver’s study clearly documents the range and proportions of hunted foods in the diet of the late prehistoric communities excavated by Kelley (see https://joethebookguy.com/shop/archaeology/the-archaeology-of-the-sierra-blanca-region-of-southeastern-new-mexico/  ).  It also contributes an interesting perspective to a growing discussion  concerning the importance of local catchments versus community-level socioeconomic patterns in determining the diversity and modal body size of the animals that were hunted.” (From the Foreword)
