lessor of psychology.
This summer’s research in
Tlaxcala will consist of a survey
project in archaeology, human
ecology, social organization, anil
deviant behavior. Long-range
plans in the area are for a study
of culture in depth and through
time, tracing the roots of the in
digenous cultural heritage, and
exploring the combination of in
digenous and Spanish elements
which has resulted in the unique,
thoroughly Mexican blend of the
present.
Plant Kesearch Planned
The third seminar is a study
of the process of plant domesti
cation in Costa Rica under the
direction of Carl Johannesscn, as
si.-tent professor of geography
The research will focus on the
discovery of factors that modify
the selection of reproductive ma
terial when cultivated varieties
are planted. The economic and
social consequences of plant do
mestication will also be studied.

summer projects should consult
the faculty members in charge of
the summer seminar most appro
priate to their graduate program.
