EDITORS' INTRODUCTION
The three papers which appearhere were written by students in the
Department of Anthropology in the 1973-74 academic year. Velson and Clark worked
together in course Anthropology 195, an undergraduate research seminar, given in the
Spring quarter 1974. Aaberg and Bonsignore's joint paper came out of the same
seminar. Dillon's study of trade represents his Senior Honors Thesis under our
joint guidance. All three papers are original and in our opinion good examples of the
kind of undergraduate research done in this Department. We think that they are
worth sharing with a wider audience.
