126-134 (134 Records)
The design of ·the research hypotheses sampling, data collection and analyses, has made it possible to extrapolate for the region in general the transformations of the natural into the cultural landscape. The analysis of the pattern of settlement when evaluated in terms of the distribution of natural resources exposes many innuendos of prehistoric land use. While the utilization of resources is not totally dependent on demographic variables,(i.e., religious, social etc., norms can also program...
Prehistoric Settlement and Adaptation in the Ramah Valley, New Mexico (1973)
This paper will attempt to reconstruct the valley-wide systems of subsistence of six pueblos occupying a small valley in northwestern New Mexico around 1300 A.D. As any investigation of this nature must be, it is a hypothetical model, built using data rom a variety of sources, including archaeological excavation, settlement pattern analysis, ethnographic analogy, and the natural limitations of the environment.
Preliminary Report on the Vertebrate Faunal Remains from the Ojo Bonito Archaeological Project (1998)
Excavations conducted by the Ojo Bonito Archaeological Project (OBAP) in 1987, 1988, and 1994 have recovered a relatively large and well-preserved faunal assemblage. This report presents the results of a preliminary study ofthe animal bone from these excavations. In the first part of analysis, an overview of the taxonomic composition of the OBAP assemblage is provided and the diversity and proportional distribution of identified fauna are described. More in-depth analyses of intra- and intersite...
The Process of Aggregation in the Post-Chacoan Era: A Case Study from the Lower Zuni Region (1995)
During the post-Chacoan period (A.D. I 175- 1225) the first aggregated sites in the Zuni Region of the American Southwest were built. This research examines a shift in regional settlement patterns and the reorganization of sociopolitical systems during this initial period of aggregation in the lower Zuni River region. A chronology for the post-Chacoan settlements in the case study area is built using ceramic type data. The results suggest that the process of aggregation in the Zuni region can...
Public Architecture in the Greater Cibola Region (2018)
Table of sites in the greater Cibola region (ca. AD 1000-1400) with public architectural features. This table also provides information on the specific form of those public architectural features. The data are confidential as they include site locations. These data accompany Chapter 8 of: Peeples, Matthew A. (2018) Connected Communities: Networks, Identity, and Social Change in the Ancient Cibola World. University of Arizona Press. Tucson, AZ.
R Code for Corrugated Ceramic Technological Analysis (2018)
This document contains the R code (checked in version 3.0) for conducting statistical analyses, clustering, and network visualization of corrugated ceramic technological data from the greater Cibola region as described in Chapter 5 of: Peeples, Matthew A. (2018) Connected Communities: Networks, Identity, and Social Change in the Ancient Cibola World. University of Arizona Press. Tucson, AZ.
Statistical Documentation for Neutron Activation Analysis Compositional Group Assignments (2018)
This document provides detailed information on the statistical procedures used to produce compositional groups from NAA data in the greater Cibola region sample, as well as table documenting statistical assessments of those groups. This document accompanies: Peeples, Matthew A. (2018) Connected Communities: Networks, Identity, and Social Change in the Ancient Cibola World. University of Arizona Press. Tucson, AZ.
A Temporal Perspective on Late Prehistoric Societies in the Western Cibola Area: Factor Analytic Approches to Short-term Chronological Investigation (1974)
This paper has presented background information on the Cibola area, especially the El Morro Valley, and reasons for the investigation have been stated in terms of descriptive, methodological, and theoretical goals. Chapter 2 included descriptions of the research strategies of the Cibola Archeological Research Project and "accounts of the field investigations carried out in 1972 and 1973. In chapter 3 the focus turned to the painted ceramic materials found by the Cibola Project. The pottery...
