A common issue of the Legacies on the Landscape project in the Perry Mesa region in Central Arizona is determining if the differences in the landscape are the result of prehistoric land use or if these differences in ecosystem structure represent a preexisting landscape patchiness that attracted prehistoric people to certain locales. This analysis investigates the settlement patterns of Perry Mesa as they relate to warfare and/or the perceived threat of warfare in the region. Perry Mesa...

Permian Basin BPA#9: Archaeological Survey of Ring Midden Sites in the CFO District (2024)
The BPA#9 project was developed under the Permian Basin Mitigation Program to conduct an intensive survey and inventory of approximately 60,000 acres within seven individual parcels of land situated across the foothills of the Guadalupe and Sacramento Mountains. Combined, these seven study units constitute the project area. Statistical Research, Inc. (SRI), was contracted by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Carlsbad Field Office (CFO) to perform this survey,...
Permian Basin Mitigation Program, Transect Recording Unit Survey and Small-Scale Excavations at 42 Sites Along the Southwest Pecos Slopes, Eddy County, New Mexico
Information relating to the prehistoric occupation of Southwest Pecos Slopes physiographic region remains relatively unknown. This particular region has recently witnessed a pronounced increase in oil- and gas-extraction activities, and the tract of land situated between the Black and Pecos Rivers was only just incorporated into the Permian Basin Programmatic Agreement (PA) study area. In order to improve the management abilities of the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management...

Phyllis Pueblo (LA 45160) - Unit 101-102 Summary (2009)
Units 101 and 102 represent a room suite located in the northwest portion of Phyllis Pueblo. Unit 101 is a rectangular room situated west of and connected by a doorway with a room referred to as Unit 102. A single (perhaps spine-) wall running east-west serves as the south wall for both Unit 101 and Unit 102. A second apparent spine-wall, four meters north of and parallel to the first, serves as the north wall of both rooms. Three shorter walls, each running north-south between the two spine...
Phyllis Pueblo (LA 45160) - Unit 103 Summary (2009)
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.
Phyllis Pueblo (LA 45160) - Unit 201 Summary (2009)
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...
Phyllis Pueblo (LA 45160) - Unit 202 Summary (2009)
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,...
Phyllis Pueblo (LA 45160) - Unit 202 Summary (2010)
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...
Phyllis Pueblo (LA 45160) - Unit 204 Summary (2010)
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...
Phyllis Pueblo (LA 45160) - Unit 206 Summary (2010)
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. The former is immediately north 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...
Pithouses and Placemaking on the Southern Colorado Plateau (2015)
Pithouse period settlement on the southern Colorado Plateau was the subject of vibrant research in the mid-twentieth century as Southwest archaeologists explored the validity of the Mogollon and Anasazi archaeological culture areas. In subsequent years the region became a laboratory for anthropology, as the rich data lent itself to studies of population dynamics in the famously heady days of New Archaeology. Since the mid-1970s, research on these first millennium A.D. sites has been confined to...
