Content: The Tarahumara are Native Americans who live in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico and who speak a Uto-Aztecan language. This file consists of eleven documents nearly all written by professional anthropologists, whose collective fieldwork experience among the Tarahumara ranges in time from 1891 to 1989. Probably one of the most comprehensive studies in the file on traditional Tarahumara ethnography is that done by Bennett and Zingg. Although the fieldwork for this study was done in the 1930s, this work, nevertheless, provides an excellent introduction to the study of traditional Tarahumara society. It should be noted, however that this monograph has been criticized by a later ethnologist for factual errors in the data. Some of the major topics discussed by additional works include culture history, material culture, socio-cultural change, social organization, ideal and practical norms of behavior, and the ecological relationship between the Tarahumara and their environment. Other documents provide additional data on sorcery, residential mobility, kinship, ceremonial behavior, curing, religion, social conformity, and lying in relation to informant/author relationships

Content: Why and when human societies shifted from nomadic hunting and gathering to settled agriculture engages the interest of scholars around the world. One of the most fruitful areas in which to study this issue is the North American Southwest, where Late Archaic inhabitants of the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts of Mexico, Arizona, and New Mexico turned to farming while their counterparts in Trans-Pecos and South Texas continued to forage. By investigating the environmental, biological, and cultural factors that led to these differing patterns of development, we can identify some of the necessary conditions for the rise of agriculture and the corresponding evolution of village life. The twelve papers in this volume synthesize previous and ongoing research and offer new theoretical models to provide the most up-to-date picture of life during the Late Archaic (from 3,000 to 1,500 years ago) across the entire North American Borderlands. Some of the papers focus on specific research topics such as stone tool technology and mobility patterns. Others study the development of agriculture across whole regions within the Borderlands. The two concluding papers trace pan-regional patterns in the adoption of farming and also link them to the growth of agriculture in other parts of the world.
