Codding, Brian F. | External impacts on internal dynamics: Effects of paleoclimatic and demographic variability on acorn exploitation along the Central California coast | Research into human-environment interaction in California prehistory often focuses on either the internal dynamics of adaptive decisions or the external impacts of environmental change. While both processes were surely driving prehistoric variability, integrating these approaches is not altogether s... | Acorn exploitation; Prehistoric land use; Behavioral ecology | 2016 |
