Proto Uto Aztecan: A Community of Cultivators in Central Mexico?, Jane H. Hill's 2001 peer reviewed article in American Anthropologist, proposes a Mesoamerican, maize cultivating homeland for Proto Uto Aztecan speakers against the older forager homeland view, and the resulting scholarly dispute, including Campbell and Kaufman's rebuttal, among others. Its strength is that it is the seminal comparative linguistics article proposing this reconstruction argument. Its limit is that it proposes one contested homeland hypothesis; the resulting scholarly dispute is not settled by this article alone, and a reader should check the rebuttals it provoked.

Tier one: the seminal peer reviewed comparative linguistics article in American Anthropologist proposing a Mesoamerican homeland for Proto Uto Aztecan speakers. Its limit is that it proposes one contested hypothesis; the resulting scholarly dispute, including Campbell and Kaufman's rebuttal, is not settled by this article alone. NotesThe seminal comparative-linguistics article proposing a Mesoamerican, maize-cultivating homeland for Proto-Uto-Aztecan speakers against the older forager-homeland view, and the resulting scholarly dispute (Campbell and Kaufman's rebuttal among others). Squarely the fact's own reconstruction-argument claim.
