Report on a classroom pollen study using samples from a site and artificial terraces near Zuni Pueblo. Correspondence with the Colorado Plateau Pollen Chronology allows dating of site-context deposits. Some unsual patterns in the distribution of economic pollen types for an Anasazi site, including occurrence of /Gossypium/ (cotton) pollen, were observed.

Use of sediment samples collected from the Hinkson Site for a classroom research project late in 1989 provided opportunity to extract and examine the pollen they contained. Since the effort was undertaken by students with no prior experience of pollen study, the raw data is to some degree suspect. However, the student work was supervised by experienced personnel, and students were encouraged to rely on supervisory help whenever a problematic issue arose. The samples should be re-observed before...

The importance of the large number of historic and prehistoric ruins scattered over the semiarid region of the southwestern part of the United States has gradually come to be recognized. Every cliff dwelling, every prehistoric tower, communal house, shrine and burial mound is an object which can contribute something to the advancement of knowledge, and hence is worthy of preservation. Knowledge of the extent, location and nature of these ruins bas been accumulating for many years. We now know...

This study examines the historic land use patterns on what is now Kirtland Air Force Base and adjacent lands withdrawn from public use on the Cibola National Forest. The study summarizes prehistoric Native American, Spanish Colonial, and early American land use, while focusing on late Territorial (post 1880) homesteading, mining, and suburban development on this portion of the East Mesa located southeast of the city of Albuquerque.

PROJECT Uploaded by: Aaron Deguzman

This project was set up by ASU undergraduate Aaron Deguzman for a individual study project that he did with FPMcManamon in the Spring semester of 2011. Included are digital copies of some of the historic publications he read and some of his written summaries and assessments of these readings. The following two paragraphs are Aaron's statement of what he hoped to get out of the readings course. What I'd like to study is the history of archeology with an emphasis on the public outlook on...

Located above the Little Colorado River in east-central Arizona, a natural rock formation casts a dynamic shadow-line onto a panel of ancient rock art during the summer solstice. Two hours later a rock chimney allows a narrow beam of sunlight to pass through, forming a Sun Dagger that illuminates the petroglyphs beneath it in a dynamic manner, similar to the solar marker located upon Fajada Butte in Chaco Canyon. Although this solar marker is considerably older than the one on Fajada Butte, here...

This monograph chronicles Earl Morris' excavation and interpretation of Aztec West Ruins' great kiva. To quote Morris' introduction to the report “In the summer of 1916 when the Museum began the exploration of the Aztec Ruin, the first work undertaken was the removal of the thicket of chico brush which covered the entire area and obscured the view of the hill-like mounds which marked the several wings of the building. After the destruction of the vegetation, a conspicuous feature was a large...

The use of mortuary data collected early this century poses a number of problems and opportunities. In this paper I address some of these issues with respect to mortuary databases from the ancestral Zuni villages of Hawikku and Kechipawan. These data were collected in the 1910s and 1920s; the excavations had goals that were somewhat different than current goals. This paper explores the basic qualities of these databases and the challenges of making the data comparable to other...

Soil samples representing several diverse areas in and around Hoy House (5MTUMR 2150) in Johnson Canyon, Colorado were analyzed for their pollen content. These samples were taken during the summer of 1974 at excavations under the field direction of Paul R. Nickens. Dr. David A. Breternitz was the project director. Hoy House is the first cliff dwelling to be sampled for pollen studies in the Mancos Canyon project area, and it was expected that the samples would provide information for...

Woody twigs, Zea mays cob, and bone samples from the Star Ceiling Cave site near the town of Cuba, New Mexico, were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. This site consists of a cave with a spring and numerous pictographs and mud-ball offerings. Pictographs in the cave are noted to represent Ancestral Puebloan/Puebloan culture as well as Navajo ceremonialism. Twigs were present in a mud-ball adhering to the top of the cave. Radiocarbon dating of the twigs provides information...

Five botanic samples and a macrofloral sample were examined from the Ewing Site (Y7), which is part of a triangular space (the “hinterlands”) within the Yellow Jacket district of southwestern Colorado. Many of the sites in the Yellow Jacket locality were occupied during the Pueblo II (AD 1050-1150) and Pueblo III (AD 1150-1300) periods; however, the Ewing site is believed to predate the main occupation of the area and reflect occupation during the early Pueblo II or Basketmaker III periods....

Pottery found at four sites located in the eastern half of El Malpais National Monument offers significant clues into the importance of this area for the southern Chaco cultural extension. Further, the movement of pottery within the area is also significant as is information on local or non-local production. In order to begin to understand these issues, chemical and petrographic analysis was carried out on pottery mostly from the great house site of Las Ventanas. The Cibola White Ware, Socorro...

The Bandelier National Monument offers the visitor a rare combination of scenic beauty and antiquarian interest. West of the Rio Grande at Buckman, N. Mex., but 1,000 feet above it, lies the Pajarito Plateau, a rolling yellow-pine country cut by deep canyons that lead down to the river. One of these canyons contains a pretty little mountain stream, the Rito de los Frijoles. Between picturesque cliffs and canyon walls this stream literally tumbles into the Rio Grande over many falls, two of them...

The Center for Anthropological Studies has recently completed an intensive field examination of a 1,961 acre live-fire range to be constructed on Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. This Department of Energy/Sandia National Laboratories (UOE/SNL) project area was completed in two phases. The nature and results of the first phase are discussed in the main part of this report. The second phase involved the examination of an area that was later appended to the first. Its description and...

Across the northern Southwest, the Pueblo IV period (A.D. 1275-1400) was a time of dramatic change in settlement patterns, religious configurations, and social relationships, leading to the constant redefinition of social boundaries and identities and the establishment of multiple social connections. This dissertation explores the spatial and social scales at which residents of Zuni region nucleated villages focused social interactions and defined social boundaries and identities. This is...

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...
