1 For example, Carter (p. 62) selects supporting ethnological evidence from Castetter and Bell (Pima and Papago Indian Agriculture. Inter-Americana Studies I, University of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque, 1942) in attempting to establish that the frijole or kidney bean is postwhite contact in the Gila-Sonora area, but he disregards that in the same volume is published a record of this bean archaeologically from the Sacaton Fhase at Snaketown (see Castetter & Bell, p. 32). His failure to consider and to dispose of this conflicting evidence casts suspicion on his neat duality of bean types between the areas.
