accompanied by documented changes in the nature of the archaeological record.
However, the lack of a detailed temporal framework for much of the depositional
history of La Playa currently prevents such correlations between climatic change
and shifts in human activities.
Acknowledgments Two anonymous reviewers provided helpful suggestions to improve the
quality of the manuscript. We appreciate the continued funding for studies at La Playa that have
been provided by Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH). Permission to conduct
studies at La Playa has been granted by the Consejo de Arqueologia (INAH) and co-director of
the La Playa project, John Carpenter. Funding was also provided by a University of Arizona
Faculty Small Grant.
