This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Projects taking place in the state of Chihuahua have, in recent years, begun to expand the understanding of local lifeways. The analysis of human-animal relations is perceived to have contributed to a greater understanding of ways in which researchers can reconstruct the lifeways in the past. This paper examines prehistoric lifeway patterns indicated by...

This is an abstract from the "Crossing Boundaries: Interregional Interactions in Pre-Columbian Times" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. More than merely a physical barrier, the international border between the United States and Mexico has become an ideological boundary that shapes modern perceptions of prehistoric cultures and limits the transfer of academic knowledge. Such is the case in the study of the prehistoric Hohokam and Trincheras...

This is an abstract from the "Increasing the Accessibility of Ancient DNA within Archaeology" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Migration studies address huge distances, such as the colonization of the Americas, and smaller regions, such as the peopling of specific sites. The use of genetics as a medium to enhance our understanding of population movement can be an asset. There are potential pitfalls, however, such as the misrepresentation of DNA...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Over the years, several thousand archaeological wood samples have been collected across Northwest Mexico, but dating them has proven problematic because of short tree ring sequences, poor sample quality, and complex growth patterns. A majority of these originated in cliff dwelling sites, which form a central part of an inter-regional network of relatively...

Casas Grandes offers an unusual opportunity for a physical anthropologist. There is good archaeological control of spatial and temporal distributions of the skeletal populations, and therefore the results of examinations of these skeletons can contribute important data to general studies of micro-evolutionary changes in Homo sapiens. Studies of the genetics of morphological variation and analysis of discontinous traits of skeletons aid in understanding micro-evolutionary change. This project...

This is an abstract from the "Manifesting Movement Materially: Broadening the Mesoamerican View" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Chicomoztoc, the place of seven caves, from which the Nahua ancestors emerged, appears in many central Mexican pictorial manuscripts as a place of origin and one of pilgrimage. Like the mythical Aztlan, its location has not been confirmed; perhaps several such places served different groups of people. However, recent...

In examination of the topography represented on five different maps of the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, demonstrated a remarkable degree of uniformity of physiographic features in the northeastern part of the state. There was simultaneously demonstrated a singular degree of contradiction for the southeastern part of the state.

This is an abstract from the "Journeying to the South, from Mimbres (New Mexico) to Malpaso (Zacatecas) and Beyond: Papers in Honor of Ben A. Nelson" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Stable isotope values of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in animal bones are influenced by the environmental and climatic conditions present during the lifetime of the organisms. Stable isotope analysis of faunal bones thus permits the reconstruction of past environmental...

This is an abstract from the "Multispecies Frameworks in Archaeological Interpretation: Human-Nonhuman Interactions in the Past, Part II" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. It has been a while since anthropology experienced an ontological turn that calls to question the universal application of Western concepts, such as nature, culture, and humanity. That questioning, however, has not permeated enough into anthropology, but even much less into...

This is an abstract from the "Polychromy, Multimediality, and Visual Complexity in Mesoamerican Art" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Some features of a rocky site in the Potosino semi-desert of north-central Mexico will be presented, where an ancient rock world and ritual expressions of contemporary ethnic groups, in particular the Wixarika (Huichol Indians), coincide. For the latter, the site is an important step in their ritual journey to...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Historically, archaeological research in northern Sinaloa, Mexico, focused on the coastal plains, with minimal attempts to comprehend the adjacent archaeological groups scattered in the hinterlands of the Sierra Madre along major water systems. These regions are most often interpreted through the lens of ethnohistorical accounts that provide a window on...

The principal institutions of Spanish contact were, as elsewhere on the Spanish frontier, the mission, the mine, the hacienda, and the military. The mission contact situation, handled by the religious arm of Spanish administration, will be discussed more fully in later pages. The few sections that follow immediately here are an attempt to sketch some aspects of the non-mission aspects of seventeenth and eighteenth-century north Mexican society in order to give a more complete picture of the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Stable isotopic analyses of carbon and nitrogen in bone can provide insight into the consumption of plants and animals. Bone collagen differentially tracks the consumption of proteins, and bone apatite reflects individual’s diet through the intake of lipids, protein, and carbohydrates. Analyses of 29 individuals from the Early Agricultural period (EAP)...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Previous stable isotopic studies of bone from 12 dated individuals from the site of La Playa in Northern Sonora suggest a diet dominated by C4 and CAM resources. For collagen δ13C, an average value of -8.5‰ (n=5) was recorded in the San Pedro phase (1200 BC to 800 BC) which shifted to an average value of -10.0‰ (n=7) in the Cienega phase (800 BC to AD 150)....

Juan Mateo Manje was an old and close companion. After all, Arizona Silhouettes had lived with him for almost three years during our work with the late Harry J. Karnes, who translated Manje's Luz de Tierra lncognita, from the Francisco Fernandez del Castillo Spanish version; the first English translation we published in 1954. This was the day-by-day diary of Manje from February l, 1694, through April 15, 1701, covering seven major trips of discovery with Fray Eusebio Francisco Kino. These two...
