“…They include a list of other resources that may have been as important, such as mesquite pods, sotol caudex, pinyon nuts, and tunas (Castetter et al 1938). This view is not supported by either the archaeological (Dering 1979(Dering , 1999Evans 1992;Fish et al 1985;Minnis 1976;Phippen 1999;Thoms 2008a) or ethnohistoric (De Leon 1971;Griffen 1969;Taylor 1972;Wade 2003) evidence, which both confirm that agave resources were the major dietary staple across the Northern Chihuahuan Desert.…”

“…Dean Cluster 3 (n=19), and Edwards Cluster 2 (n=7)] have relatively low levels of other constituents, which reinforces the ethnohistoric record of the seasonal dominance of cactus tuna as a mid-summer resource (De Leon 1971;Krieger 2002;Taylor 1972;Wade 2003). This also supports the diet-breadth model, which predicts that hunter-gatherer populations in the Lower Pecos canyonlands would restrict their diet-breadth to just tunas when they were available for harvest.…”

“…This invaluable find included well-preserved carbonized remains of many local species of plants, thereby adding to the evidence that such hearths were used by prehistoric human groups throughout much of Texas primarily to prepare plant foods (cf. Black 1989:49-50;Hester 1981: 126;Hester and Hill 1972:59-60;and Taylor 1972 who suggest that the wide-spread exploitation of plant foods by prehistoric peoples may have supported a marked population growth during the Middle Archaic and Late Prehistoric periods in south Texas). Nevertheless, it will be necessary to examine many more of these features (not yet discovered) to make their association primarily with plant food preparation viable, to establish such an association as an area-wide phenomenon, and to refine the inventory of plants exploited.…”
