Abstract
Six Edwards chert caches are analyzed for investigating the range of caching behavior. Caches are compared in terms of transport cost, potential use, reduction strategies, and placement on the landscape. There was no correlation between caches and transport cost. All of the caches represent the storage of insurance gear for multiple unanticipated future activities. Variation among caches involved how insurance gear was provided in the cache. Relief and distance from water sources are highly predictable variables of cache location. Caches without diagnostic artifacts are important for discerning the range of caching behavior.
