Environment Research (Investigation Type)

These are studies that examine aspects of the present or past natural environment to provide a context, often off-site, for interpreting archaeological resources. Sometimes reported in stand-alone volumes representing significant research, such investigations may include geomorphological, paleontological, or palynological work.

Pottery type images for the western Tabasco Coastal Plain (2008)

IMAGE Christopher von Nagy.

This set of images documents common ceramics types found at La Venta, Tabasco. The examples here were recovered from San Andrés (Barí 1), a subsidiary elite community in the Lower La Venta area of the flood plain. The ceramics at San Andrés demonstrate a range of states from refired and eroded to well-preserved. The type images presented here are of generally well-preserved examples. These types are defined in my dissertation (von Nagy 2003), and will receive full treatment in a forth coming...

Prehistoric Agricultural Strategies in West-Central New Mexico (1987)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Patrick F. Hogan.

Environmental fluctuations are frequently cited as a major factor effecting population displacement and cultural development in the American Southwest. Recent research suggests that the interaction of environmental, demographic, and behavioral variables might account for these presumed causal relationships, but behavioral responses to environmental fluctuations remain poorly understood. The environmental factors most likely to have been stressful to agriculturalists such as the prehistoric...

Prehistoric Hunter-Fisher-Gatherers: Implications from Ethnohistory (1975)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Francis McManamon.

Large portions of the world once were occupied by human populations subsisting by hunting, fishing and the gathering of wild plants. Archeologists have long been interested in understanding and explaining the life ways of these prehistoric populations. Human cultural evolution having proceeded as it did, almost no written records exist that report on human populations pursuing such a way of life in deciduous and boreal forestlands exist. This is unfortunate for ethnographic analogy, when...

Prehistoric Settlement Patterns in the Sapillo Creek Valley, Gila National Forest, New Mexico (1995)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Robert Stokes.

The Sapillo Valley Survey Project was undertaken in 1993 by Robert Stokes as a M.A. thesis project.
