    Evidence of substantial malnutrition caused Gregg and Zimmerman (1986) and Zimmerman and Bradley (1 986) to suggest that the fourteenth century, Initial Coalescent tradition Crow Creek massacre resulted from internecine warfare over decreased food supplies, population increase, and access to horticultural lands along the Missouri River. A computer simulation suggests that such a scenario is feasible but related to population thresholds and arable land types rather than a simple function of population growth. Jnforences drawn from this simulation lead to speculation that dispersed settlement patterns of Extended Coalescent were a reaction to Initial Coalescent warfare.
