The El Rio Community Health Center in Tucson, Arizona, is planning on building a parking lot on a portion of an archaeological easement associated with the historic period León farm stead, AZ BB:13:505 (ASM), and the prehistoric period Eastside canals, AZ BB:13:642 (ASM). The archaeological easement was established in 1999 following the discovery of the two sites. Archaeological fieldwork for this project was undertaken in 2013 to mitigate the damage to these significant cultural resources...

For over a hundred years, Americans have been intrigued by the ancient remains of human art, activities, and settlements in the Greater Southwest. By the turn of the century archaeologists knew that the haunting cliff dwellings were left by the Anasazi farmers who lived in the region 700 to 900 years ago. But it was only in the 1930’s and 1940’s that archaeologists discovered evidence of the first people in the southwest. Although these people lived for over 6000 years in the Canyonlands...

As early as 1936, Edgar L. Hewett suggested that there might have been some sort of temporal relationship between Casas Grandes, in Chihuahua, Mexico, and such Chaco settlements as Pueblo Bonito, del Arroyo, and Chetro Ketl, in New Mexico. He recognized the obvious differences in terms of ceramics, architectonics, and historical background which marked these two entities, but still felt that there was some common time denominator. Most of his contemporaries, however, believed that the city of...

It is believed that sometime around the year A.D. 1060 a group of sophisticated Mesoamerican merchants came into the valley of the Casas Grandes and inspired the indigenous Chichimecans to build the city of Paquime over portions of an older Viejo Period village. These foreign donors may have been drawn here by specific information supplied to them by their family-affiliated spying vanguards, who perhaps lived with the frontiersmen during the last phase of the Viejo Period. These organizers who...

The Chichimecan Revolt of the 1340s tore asunder the weakened body politic of the Paquime province and in so doing radically changed the settlement pattern in the old kingdom. In the Robles Phase, the city, along with some satellite villages in the Casas Grandes Valley, was abandoned and the political power, as well as the economic wealth, shifted to such northerly towns as were located in the Zuni, Hopi, Mogollon, and the eastern Anasazi-Chichimecan homelands.

In the case of The Joint Casas Grandes Expedition, correlating the past in terms of the Christian calendar required considerable assistance from members of many other scientific disciplines who were not directly involved with the actual excavations. This scholastic absenteeism created a few communication problems, but in every case the effort of informative dialogue proved very worthwhile, inasmuch as it led to the re-creation of a Paquimian historical continuum, which was one of the primary...

The value of ceramic analysis for chronologically organizing a series of unknown cultures in a particular region and of relating some of them synchronically cannot be denied. Unfortunately, this useful tool is sometimes given undue emphasis and is regarded in some instances as representative of the total culture. Such unbridled use is most dangerous because of the complex nature of pottery - its plasticity when formed, its chameleon-like character on firing, its relative abundance in use, and...

They flourished for more than 70 generations in the lower Salt River Valley, the place where Phoenix now stands.

In the recent past bat droppings have been collected by guano hunters and it is probable that these were the first people, other than those of prehistoric times, to have used the cave for any definite purpose.

In the foothills are the remains of many mescal roasting pits presenting the characteristics of those used by the...

Staff at Kartchner Caverns State Park are considering alterations to sections of the Foothills Loop Trail. Specifically, the westernmost portion of this trail crosses two dry drainages which run east from the eastern flank of the Whetstone Mountains. At present, these crossings include steep, stepped sections. An alternative would be to replace these sections with switchbacks or ramps paralleling the drainages. The property in question is owned by Arizona State Parks & Trails (ASPT). If the...

We suggest that the failure of Casas Grandes was inevitable. In the absence of advanced transportation technology, a monopolistic dendritic exchange system failed to develop. In its place, the administered market system was inadequate to control the local economies beyond the Casas Grandes province. Stimulated by Casas Grandes, the local economies eventually began to compete with the merchant-priests. While such competition may not have been large scale, its cumulative effect would have been...

Temper analysis of plain ware ceramics from Pueblo La Plata indicates that none of the pottery contains local sand. La Plata is located atop Perry Mesa in central Arizona, where basalt dominates the geology. Petrographic thin-section analysis confirmed the observation that basalt was not present, thereby implying that the tempering materials used to make the pottery were not locally obtained. Unless local potters went far afield to procure their temper, the pueblo residents probably obtained...

Understanding Paquime' s internal development is important to regional prehistory, but the sheer amount of published data deters attempts to interpret the site's construction history. The challenge can be reduced to a workable size by examining individual architectural units within the site. By way of illustration, a re-study of Unit 11 (House of the Serpent) indicates that its construction history may differ somewhat from the original published account. The approach used in the re-study is...

Prior research as a part of the Legacies on the Landscape project has addressed architectural issues at Richinbar Ruin. In the spring of 2005, Karen Schollmeyer wrote a paper, Architecture Studies at Richinbar Ruin, which outlined the rationale for and the results of study into how Richinbar was built. Since that time, changes due to both wild fires and seasonal variation potentially made possible the acquisition of improved data in the same area. The purpose of this study was to obtain that...
