Abstract
- The archaeological applications of optimization theory that were applied to resource use are reviewed. A study that modeled agricultural productivity among the 18th-early 19th century Muscogee Creek Indians showed that the residents of Cussetuh were risk minimizers and were not maximizing long-term average rate of corn yield in their gardens.
