People, Places, and Plants: An Appraisal of Subsistence, Technology and Sedentism in the Eastern Woodlands
… in which investment in the specialization of plant-food processing tools was beneficial. It further identifies that tool investment benefits were only adaptive when seasonally strategic mobility had decreased to such a degree that tool carrying costs were offset by expanded tool use-life. …
