Abstract

Some prop sals by Clark and Terrell for multiple working models that may apply to the Lapila cultural complex are examined in the light of existing evidence and their defects set out in relation to the presumed state of each of the ten variables used to construct the models . Another model in which the state for each of eleven variables seems plausible given current evidence is then proposed. It is concluded that additional and probably more com plex models arc required to further an understanding of this cultural complex but their for mulation and testing require data not available at present.
