Abstract
This paper reports on a cluster analysis of 155 coprolites from Antelo pe House, a prehistoric Anasazi site in Canyon de Chelly, Arizona. The analysis revealed three primary clusters; whole kernel maize, milled maize, and nonmaize, which we believe to represent seasonal- and prefe rence-related cuisine. Protein residue analysis on a subsample of the specimens added depth to the analysis. (C) 1995 Academic Press Limited
