Site LA37781 was partially excavated in the summer of 2000 by the ASU Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project. The goal of this project was to collect data from Mimbres Classic Period habitation rooms to illuminate the occupational and abandonment history of such sites in the Eastern Mimbres area. The following report provides a summary of results of test excavations in Unit 30, a room located near the center of the site in Roomblock B, one of three roomblocks on the site. LA37781 is located on a...

Unit 13 was a relatively small rectangular room (2.5 x 4.3 = 10.8 square meters) single story room in what was called the South Two-Story section of the Postclassic pueblo at Las Animas Village. Its size and the absence of a hearth suggest that Unit 13 served as a storage room. It was repeatedly remodeled, as indicated by three floor layers. No chronometric dates were obtained from this room.

Unit 5 was a very well-preserved two-story room in the South Two-Story section of the Postclassic pueblo at Las Animas Village (3.5 x 4 = 14 square meters). It was built on top of a much earlier pithouse or pit feature. Unit 5 was part of a larger two-story construction, including Unit 8/15 to the north. When it was built, the first and second story rooms seem to have been very similar, both with hearths just east of center, both bisected by a row of roof support posts. After some use the...

Unit 4 was a fairly well-preserved two-story room in the West Side section of the Postclassic pueblo at Las Animas Village. Other rooms to the south (Unit 5 and Units 8, 14,15) were also two story and had been filled in prehistorically so their second story floors were nearly intact. In contrast, Unit 4’s second story collapsed and only a portion of it was found, mostly in the southeast corner of the room. The lower, first-story floor of Unit 4 had been substantially remodeled. Two large roof...

Units 11 and 12 on the Las Animas site (LA 3949) are located next to each other on the extreme southeastern portion of the Black Mountain phase roomblocks. Unit eleven's eastern wall was readily apparent as a double course row of large river cobbles, while Unit 12 covered an area immediately to the northwest of Unit 11. Unit 11 contains two rooms while Unit 12 may only represent an area immediately outside of Unit eleven's two rooms as well as Unit 13.

Unit 13 is located on the Black Mountain phase of Las Animas Village. Las Animas Village consists of several room blocks of Classic Mimbres affiliation along with the later Black Mountain phase occupation. There is a tentative third occupation on top of portions of the Black Mountain Phase which is being referred to as Salado. The Las Animas site sits atop a one of a series of rocky benches overlooking the Animas drainage. A spring fed stream runs along portions of the benches drainage...

This report summarizes the excavation and findings of Unit 15 at the Las Animas site (LA3949) located on the ladder ranch in Cabalo, New Mexico. Excavations were conducted during the 1995 summer field season from July 2 to August 6 by students from Suny @ Buffalo and NMSU under the direction of Dr. Margaret C. Nelson (UB) and Dr. Michelle Hegmon (NMSU). Data from this Unit contributes to the ongoing research of classic and post classic Mimbres occupation of the region.

Unit 16 is the southernmost unit excavated at Las Animas Village during the 1995 field season, located approximately 35 meters south of the Black Mountain Phase plaza area. The unit lies on a narrow finger of the mesa top, and the downward sloping ground surfaces to the east, south and west create channels for water and erosion. This area of the Black Mountain Phase pueblo has been explored in previous field seasons: Units 10 and 15 lie immediately to the north of Unit 16, Unit 5 lies adjacent...

This report summarizes the 1997 excavation of unit 30. Included are summaries of the excavation strategy used and the depositional history of unit 30. Also included is the excavators' interpretation of how the gathered data relate to the research design. The research design as it pertains to Black Mountain Phase occupation consists of documenting the chronology of large villages and understanding the sites' participation in land use patterns and in regional interaction networks.
