Landscape Legacies of Prehistoric Agricultural Land Use in the Perry Mesa Region, Central Arizona (2010)
The Perry Mesa region in central Arizona was the location of a major pulse of residential occupation and extensive agricultural land use from about a.d. 1275 to a.d. 1450. Recent research carried out by a collaborative team of archaeologists and ecologists has documented the ways in which short-term and small-scale agricultural land use transformed ecological systems in the region over long periods of time. Results from recent analyses relating to different spatial scales of prehistoric...
Large Game, Agricultural Land, and Settlement Pattern Change in the Eastern Mimbres Area, Southwest New Mexico (2011)
The 12th-century depopulation of large villages in the Mimbres region of the US Southwest has been attributed to a number of causes, including resource stress. This study combines archaeological evidence and models of environmental conditions in the eastern Mimbres area of southwest New Mexico to assess the magnitude and timing of food stress from a combination of a period of reduced precipitation and the effects of prolonged hunting and farming activities on the landscape. Results indicate that...

Las Animas Village (LA3949): A Large Multicomponent Site in the Eastern Mimbres area (2017)
Las Animas Village (LA3949) is a large multi-component site along the fertile floodplain of Las Animas Creek, west of Truth or Consequences in the Eastern Mimbres area. This document reports on excavations by the Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project in 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1997. On the surface of the site, two components are evident: Cobble masonry Classic Mimbres roomblocks to the north, and a roughly circular adobe pueblo on the south. Underlying the adobe pueblo were some pithouses. ...
Las Mujeres Architecture Study (2007)
The architecture of Las Mujeres (also known as Squaw Creek Ruin and NA 12555) was examined as part of the Legacies on the Landscape research project during the Spring 2007 field season. Room construction sequences, as indicated by bonded or abutted corners, are indicators of population growth. These patterns of bonded and abutted corners suggest whether a pueblo was built all at once or instead built incrementally through the gradual accretion of rooms. A gradual accretion of rooms could...

Legacies of Prehistoric Agricultural Practices Within Plant and Soil Properties Across an Arid Ecosystem (2013)
Closely integrated research between archaeologists and ecologists provides a long-term view of human land use that is rare in the ecological literature, allowing for investigation of activities that lead to enduring environmental outcomes. This extended temporal perspective is particularly important in arid lands where succession occurs slowly and ecosystem processes are mediated by abiotic, geomorphic factors. Numerous studies show that impacts from ancient human actions can persist, but few...
Legacies on the Landscape
Project includes archaeological and ecological research on prehistoric sites in the Perry Mesa region of central Arizona focused on understanding long term human impacts on the landscape. Research area is within the Agua Fria National Monument managed by the BLM.

Legacies on the Landscape: Agricultural Production on Perry Mesa, Agua Fria National Monument (2005)
This document presents the scope of work proposed for Spring 2005 at Agua Fria National Monument. The research is one phase of an on-going project concerned with the long-term effects of prehistoric agriculture on contemporary ecosystem structure and function at Agua Fria National Monument (see Kruse et al. 2004; Schollmeyer 2004; Schollmeyer et al. 2004). Accompanying this document is a copy of our recently submitted NSF proposal that provides more detail on the overall research plan. This...
Legacies on the Landscape: Overview of the 2003-04 Pilot Study (2004)
In 2003-04, the Legacies on the Landscape project began research concerning the long-term legacies of prehistoric and modern human land use in the desert grassland environment of the Agua Fria National Monument. This project is a collaborative effort between archaeologists and ecologists. During the first year of project research, faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates from the Department of Anthropology and the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University worked with...
Legacies on the Landscsape: The Enduring Effects of Long-Term Human Ecosystem Interactions (2011)
The Legacies on the Landscape Project is an ongoing collaboration between ecology and archaeology faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students at Arizona State University. The project was born out of the recognition that strongly integrated interdisciplinary research was essential for understanding human-ecosystem interactions. Our particular case study is focused on understanding the long-term legacy of prehistoric human land use on the ecology of semi-desert grasslands in the Southwestern...
The Legacy of Terracing (2005)
When trying to analyze human impact on the environment one of the first questions that comes to mind is what long-term effects agriculture has on the land. This research examines the effect of agricultural terracing in terms of soil content and fertility. Specifically, does prehistoric agricultural terracing affect the number and type of seeds in the soil, and thereby the soil’s fertility? Soil fertility is a complex question and studies have been done to analyze the chemical content of soils...

Linear Ground Features Upon and Adjacent to Perry Mesa, Yavapai County, Arizona (2007)
Although not ubiquitous, unique cultural features known as “racetracks” are characteristic (Ahlstrom et al. 1992) of the Perry Mesa Tradition (Fish et al. 1975), which existed in Central Arizona’s mesa and canyon complex between ca A.D. 1300 and 1400 (Ahlstrom et al. 1992) . Prior to this season’s research, eight racetracks had been identified at pueblos upon Perry Mesa and neighboring Black Mesa (Wilcox et al. 2001). As a result of research this semester, the number of confirmed and likely...
