Previous work indi cated that a shift to higher levels of social complex ity had taken place during this time, leading Struever to hypothesize that significant changes in subsistence and social organization were adaptive responses to selective pressures.

Reasoning, however, that: (a) the Mis sissippi River acts as a local base level for stream flow in the Salt Valley; {b) terrace levels in the basin probably reflect major fluctuations of dis charge and sediment load in the Mississippi (cf.
