UNIVERSITY OF UTAH ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAPERS
Begun by Jesse D. Jennings, the University of Utah Anthropological Papers are a continuing comprehensive series of more than one hundred scholarly publications focusing on site reports, primarily in the Great Basin and adjacent areas, informed by a strong theoretical component. For years many older UUAP volumes were out of print, with only selected early volumes reprinted in recent years. Now, for the first time in decades, Volumes 1 through 122 are available once again from the University of Utah Press, printed on demand at the Marriott Library. Books are reproduced from scans of the original volumes, so quality varies. Returns will not be accepted. Volumes 123 –131 are available in their original print versions through Chicago Distribution Center. Book summaries can be found on our website at www.UofUpress.com Orders can be placed online at www.UofUpress.com or by contacting the Press at 801-585-0082.

Johnson’s data support this theory and demonstrate that this model applies not only to nomadic hunter-gatherers but also to semisedentary farmer-hunters.
