Although the biological effects to changing subsistence patterns are generally well-understood, more recent studies show regional variation in...
A Test of Ideal Free Distribution Predictions Using Targeted Survey and Excavation on California's Northern Channel Isla...
Using targeted survey, excavation, and radiocarbon dating, we assess the extent to which human settlement patterns on California’s northern Channel Islands fit predictions arising from the ideal free distribution (IFD): (1) people first established and expanded permanent settlements in the regions ranked high for environmental resource suitability;...
