Remembering Claude Lévi-StraussSteven Feld THE PASSING OF CLAUDE LÉVI-STRAUSS AT AGE 100 ON OCTOBER 30, 2009, bookends but hardly finishes what can only be called one of anthropology’s richest and most complex intellectual biographies and legacies (continued).

Thomas Foster II KEY WORDS: Archaeology, Horticulture, Muscogee Creek, Optimal foraging theory, Risk management, Southeastern United States In this paper I review risk management and horticultural production among the Muscogee Creek of southeastern North America (1715–1825) in an attempt to understand decisions about land use. The z-score model and the marginal value theorem are developed, incorporating the effects of population growth among consumers and confounding variables that result from long-term resource consumption. The study calculated the annual productivity of horticultural fields of the Muscogee town of Cussetuh between 1715 and 1825 and found that the native people were not maximizing long-term average maize yield. The Cussetuh ceased using their horticultural fields sooner than a marginal value model would predict, which is consistent with the z-score model of a risk-sensitive consumer. I discuss implications of the finding that the Southeastern Native Americans were risk sensitive.
