Interactions with the Incorporeal in the Mississippian and Ancestral Puebloan Worlds (2014)
This research explores how people’s relationships with the spirits of the dead are embedded in political histories. It addresses the ways in which certain spirits were integral “inhabitants” of two social environments with disparate political traditions. Using the prehistoric mortuary record, I investigate the spirits and their involvement in socio-political affairs in the Prehispanic American Southeast and Southwest. Foremost, I construct a framework to characterize particular social...

Investigations at the Pueblo Alto Complex, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico 1975-1979: Volume I Summary of Tests and Excavations at the Pueblo Alto Community (1987)
Pueblo Alto is one of 13 or 14 greathouses in Chaco Canyon in which the Bonito phase had been widely identified. Altos classification as Chacoan greathouse includes the complex of traits that Powers et al. (1983:15-16) have used to classify “Chacoan structures.” These traits include large site, size large rooms with high ceilings, massive stone, core and veneer walls, and construction of large-scale units indicative of complex planning efforts. In this report, the Bonito phase is not restricted...

La Quemada-Malpaso Valley Archaeological Project (LQ-MVAP)
For over 15 years, Mexican and American archaeologists and students have dug ancient ruins, walked the high desert landscape, and worked in laboratories to understand the rise and fall of La Quemada, Zacatecas. We want to know why societies become complex, developing social hierarchies with specialized economic, political, and religious roles for their members. Why do civilizations expand? Northern Mexico's ancient past is an ideal context for studying these questions. During the period A.D....
