title = "CAMBIUM-PEELED TREES IN THE ZUNI MOUNTAINS, NEW MEXICO",
abstract = "Cambium-peeled trees are relatively common in ponderosa pine forests of the Intermountain West. Found from British Columbia to southern New Mexico, cambium-peeled trees have been interpreted as (a) a response to famine conditions related to climatic variations, (b) a response to conflict-related food shortages and scheduling issues, (c) a sweet or delicacy, and (d) a medicinal product used to treat various internal and external ailments. This paper uses dendrochronology, and ethnohistory to examine three spatially discrete groups of peeled trees in the Zuni Mountains of New Mexico in terms of their relationships to climatic variability, conflict and cultural practices.",
