More important is a constant theme of identifying and understanding variability in those processes that concern the interpretability of C dates. The first two chapters treat the natural processes that account for intrinsic atomic variability in samples. Chapter two particularly is useful because it brings together a diverse and important literature on major anomalies in the C record. These are changes that include both relatively long-term trends (thousands of years) and higher frequency or short-term changes (hundreds of years or less). Their operation results in a lack of equivalence between radiocarbon years and calendar years. A careful reading here will provide an understanding of why there is observed variation in natural C concentrations over time and space, the nature of those variations, and the means for correcting dates such as calibration with dendrochronologically dated samples. Chapters three and four describe the nature and sources of variation that may be associated with sample collection, pretreatment, and radioactive measurement. All of these chapters provide a rational basis for integrating technical information with that from archaeological or geological understanding of sample context in the key chapter 5, "Evaluation of Radiocarbon Data." This is a lucid and well-reasoned discussion that is recommended to all students and practicing professionals as required reading. The final chapter places the development of C dating in historical perspectives that are useful to any who aspire to understand the development of specific disciplines and of scientific inquiry in general.

This relatively peaceful life changed about AD 1400 when the decline of Mississippian culture led to a reorganization of Plains communities. People aggregating into larger towns, participated in a continental wide exchange system, and increased inter-group conflict. Using Frank Secoy's three patterns of warfare on the Plains insights into the evolving strategies of the Kirikir'i·s from AD 1500 to 1850 may be obtained. Kirikir'i·s first responded by building fortified towns. By the eighteenth century, new patterns in Kirikir'i·s conflict developed as population loss led to new strategies of population replacement. The new strategies included the capture of women and children to compensate for those people who were lost to disease and warfare. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, Wichita scouts began a new tradition of fighting on the side of American forces, a tradition that continued into the twenty-first century.

These sites are adjacent to the Phillips/United Nuclear Inactive Uranium Mill and Tailings site at Ambrosia Lake, New Mexico.

The format of this conference consisted of a workshop with a series of open discussions rather than formal papers. Results of this conference included a reorganization of Brugge's (1982) Apachean ceramic taxonomy. The participants concluded that more than one source was responsible for the development of Southern Athapaskan ceramics. Furthermore, the development of this technology occurred, in most cases, as a complex in conjunction with a horticultural and/or pastoralist system.
