Abstract

The interpretations of the Wallace site offered by Huffman and Earley are invalid. The site is not Upper Republican in affiliation, the structural remains in it do not support the interpretations made, and the proposed correspondences to Pawnee cosmology are based on unjustified assumptions.

Résumé

Résumé

Las interpretaciones del sitio Wallace presentadas por Huffman y Earley son inválidas. El mencionado sitio no posee una filiation con Republicano Superior, los restos estructurales alii encontrados no son compatibles con las interpretaciones realizadas y las correspondencias propuestas con la cosmologίa Pawnee se basan en suposiciones injustificadas.
