Abstract

Karen Harry's study indicates that agricultural marginality is an unlikely explanation for ceramic specialization in the prehistoric U.S. Southwest. Economic theory provides an alternative model for the exchange of pottery for food.

El estudio de Karen Harry indica que la marginalidad agrícola no es la explicación para la especializacion cerámica, por lo menos en el suroeste de los EE. UU. La teoría económica provee un modelo alternativo para el intercambio de cerámica por alimentos.
