An Interaction Model for Resource Implement Complexity Based on Risk and Number of Annual Moves

The "collector" subgroup is associated with greater diversity than the "forager" subgroup.

T-tests were run against the diversity variables total number of complex subsistants (CSTS) and total number of complex subsistant types (NCT).
