Abstract

How early human populations in North America maintained reproductive viability is a question that has shaped our research for over a decade. The concept of staging areas, mechanisms for band-macroband interaction, and an examination of how interaction networks could have formed and evolved over the course of the Paleoindian era are all solutions that we have presented.

Résumé

Résumé

Una de las preguntas que mayores repercusiones ha tenido en investigaciones arqueológicas por más de una decada es cómo los primeros grupos de seres humanos en América del Norte mantuvieron su viabilidad reproductiva. Varias de las soluciones que este ensayo sugiere están relacionadas con el concepto de áreas de actividad, los mecanismos de interacción entre pequeños y grandes grupos, y un exámen de cómo las redes de interacción humanas pudieron haberse formado y evolucionado a tráves del curso de la era Paleoindia.
