AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article, representing an early work in the 'new archaeology,' describes the material remains of a single-family camp that was excavated some two years after it was abandoned. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate that archaeological remains provide information about past behaviors and social organization. In addition to describing the physical site, the authors present their hypotheses about activities and composition of the camp group and the information drawn from an informant (an Apache woman who had often visited the camp) in an effort to test the validity of their hypotheses.
