How did agriculture come about in the American Southwest? What
environmental and social factors led to the cultivation of plants?
How, in turn, did the use of these new agricultural products affect
the ancient peoples living in the region? In pursuit of answers to
these questions, Barbara Roth synthesizes data from both CRM and
academic research to explore the emergence and impact of
Southwestern agriculture. Roth examines agricultural beginnings
across the entire Southwest, both northern and southern, and across
culture groups residing there. Beyond simply addressing the arrival
and widespread adoption of specific cultigens, she pays particular
attention to human factors such as patterns of production and
variability in agricultural developments. Her consideration of
broad social and environmental dynamics affecting forager diets and
adaptive strategies sheds new light on what we know-and what we
should ask-about the transition from foraging to farming.
