Unit 103 is a room located in the northwestern area of Phyllis Pueblo. The unit was encountered beneath a later occupation (Units 101 and 102). Unit 103 was built on the northwest side of Phyllis Pueblo, upon a surface that has a slight downwards slope to the southwest.

Unit 201 is located in pueblo room at Phyllis Pueblo (LA45160). The site is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwest New Mexico. Based on extant ceramics and other temporally diagnostic artifacts (Floor Znd subsurface), the immediate area appears to have hosted occupations between the late seventh and early twenty-first centuries. This time frame includes the Late Postclassic period (ca. A.D. 1300-1450), a primary focus of the Mogollon Prehistoric Landscapes...

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 202 is located in the east-central portion of the site, where deposits appear to be highest and prehistoric architecture is partially overlain by an historic structure. The unit contains at least four separate occupations (Z, A, B, and C), with Z being the lowest (i.e., earliest) and C being the highest (i.e., latest). Each has a distinct floor and, ostensibly,...

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 202 is located in the east-central portion of the site and was first excavated in 2009. An unexpected number of superimposed floors and corresponding walls were encountered. Excavation resumed the following year in order to better understand the relationship between these walls, floors, and associated artifacts. Within and adjacent to Unit 202, we encountered...

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 204 was identified in 2009 during excavations in the adjacent room of Unit 202. The former is immediately east of the latter and they appear to have shared a common wall throughout most, if not all, occupations. In 2010, additional excavation was undertaken in the southern section of Phyllis Pueblo. This continued research was designed to answer questions about...

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 206 was identified in 2009 during excavation in the adjacent room of Unit 202.

Prehispanic settlements often had archaeologically visible impacts on their surrounding environments, including changes in local plant communities that affected the presence and abundance of both plant and animal species. Here, data from sites in the Mimbres region of southwestern New Mexico are used to identify evidence for such impacts around habitation sites, and to investigate four factors (site size, elevation, water availability, and occupational history) that influence the degree of...

I present a preliminary regional database of mortuary practices for the Casas Grandes region of Chihuahua, Mexico. The reported prehistoric mortuary remains from the region are overwhelmingly drawn from the Paquime and Convento sites reported by Charles C. DiPeso and colleagues. Often overlooked, however, are several smaller samples that are reported with less detail. Given the complex nature of mortuary ritual from the region (especially in the late ceramic periods), the structure of the...

Dissertation by Karen Gust Schollmeyer based in part on EMAP Mimbres Classic period and Reorganization phase faunal data in tDAR. This dissertation examines the role of resource stress in the dramatic depopulation of large, long-occupied villages in the Mimbres region of the U.S. Southwest. I examine archaeological evidence and models of environmental conditions in the eastern Mimbres area of southwest New Mexico to assess the magnitude and periodicity of food stress from a combination of...

Much to the dismay of the archaeological community, a resurgence of pothunting is occurring across southwestern New Mexico on private and federal lands. The scale of pothunting ranges from shovel probes to bulldozing. Federal and state laws enacted since 1989 served to slow pothunting, especially the destruction caused by bulldozers, but the pendulum is now swinging back towards increased activity. Recent examples of these activities will be discussed and possible reasons for this resurgence...

Unit 1 is a portion of a room located on the east end of the three contiguous rooms excavated to floor this field season. Unit 3 is directly west and Unit 2 is diagonally to the southwest. To the east is a badly looted room and the room to the north may be mostly intact. Unit 1 and the other two excavated units are located at the highest point on the block of rooms that forms the pueblo. We selected these rooms for excavation because we wanted to understand the construction sequence in the...

Unit 10 consists of a two story pueblo room near the center of Roadmap Village. No hearth or other domestic feature was encountered in Unit 10, suggesting that the room (or at least its first story) was not residential in nature. Vented V-seams were found in the north and east walls, suggesting some social connection between the residents of Unit 10 and those of the rooms to the east (not excavated) and north (Unit 7). A partially filled doorway was encountered in the room’s west wall. Unit 10...

Unit 101 is a trench excavated at Roadmap Village, LA 45157, during the 2008 field season of the Mimbres Prehistoric Landscapes Project. It exposes part of an outdoor plaza area (Locus 3) and part of a pueblo room (Locus 2). We excavated the trench in order to determine where the large northern plaza at the site articulated with the pueblo rooms to the south, information that would help us locate and define rooms to focus on for more complete excavation.

Unit 102 is a 1 m by 2 m test unit excavated at Roadmap Village (LA 45157) during the 2012 field season of the Mogollon Prehistoric Landscapes Project.This unit is situated as close to the center of the site's northern plaza as could be determined. The unit’s long axis was oriented to true north. The width of Unit 102 was eventually widened, forming a 2 m by 2 m area. Excavation encountered evidence of two temporal components. The earliest, represented by Surfaces C and C+, may constitute part...

Unit 105 is a test unit excavated at Roadmap Village (LA 45157) during the 2012 field season of the Mogollon Prehistoric Landscapes Project. The unit is located in the approximate center of the small plaza. This unit placement was chosen for two reasons: (1) identify any surfaces and/or features associated with the small plaza; and (2) determine the depth of the B horizon including the clay strata observed in Units 104 and 106 located in extramural areas to the west of the small plaza....

Unit 106 is a test unit excavated at Roadmap Village (LA 45157) during the 2012 field season of the Mogollon Prehistoric Landscapes Project. The unit is in an extramural area located west of the most western roomblock within Roadmap Village. This unit placement was chosen for two reasons: (1) recover refuse associated with the roomblock that forms the western edge of the small plaza for relative dating and determining the activities associate with the western roomblock; and (2) determine the...

Unit 3 is located in the southern portion of the Roadmap site near the highest point on the rubble mound. Unit 3, along with other adjacent rooms, was selected for excavation for a number of key features. Firstly, unit 3 was located on the highest point on the rubble mound and would thus be the most likely two story section. Secondly, unit 3 was chosen for excavation because the west, south, and east walls were relatively well defined rock alignments on the surface. Two nearby rooms (unit 1 to...

Unit 4 is the western-most unit of the room block excavated at the site of LA45157 (Roadmap). The unit was selected to be excavated due to its location and relative completeness. Based on the visibility of wall alignments on the ground surface, four areas thought to be rooms at LA45157 were excavated during the 2007 field season. Surface depressions indicated that the site had suffered from extensive looting in the past, though is appeared that Units Three and Four were victim to less damage...

Unit 5 is a centrally located room and is the highest in elevation of the excavated units. In 2008, we selected rooms for excavation with surface indications of long occupations, hoping to find trash fill and a high number of artifacts. Ceramics, lithics, flotation, and faunal remains were collected from the excavated rooms in order to further understand the prehistoric landscape. The rooms selected for excavation during the 2008 field season were chosen due to their proximity to the plaza, the...
