- Societies with roots and tubers (versus cereals) will tend to observe initiation rites for girls (161-162).Brown, Judith K. - Subsistence variables: a comparison of textor and sauer, 1970 - 2 Variables
Textor's (1967) A Cross-Cultural Summary is used to test a variety of Sauer's (1952) hypotheses concerning the sequence of agricultural developments. Tests are primarily focused on subsistence variables.
