Abstract

The comments by Reid and others demonstrate a continued failure to distinguish problems of a general theoretical nature from those concerns relating to specific interpretations of southwestern prehistory. We separate these issues here. We also suggest that confusion arises because there are important philosophical differences between our approaches.

Résumé

Résumé

El comentario de Reid y otros demuestran una continuada omisión a distinguir cuestiones teoréticas generates de las más conexas a interpretaciones distintas de la prehistoria del sur-oeste. Separamos estas indagaciones en nuestro comentario y también indicamos que hay grandes diferencias filosóficas entre la metodología de Reid y otros y la nuestra.
