A Colorful Past: Turquoise and Social Identity in the Late Prehispanic Western Pueblo Region, A.D. 1275–1400 (2017)
Turquoise is synonymous with the U.S. Southwest, occurring naturally in relative abundance and culturally prized for millennia. As color and material, turquoise is fundamental to the worldviews of numerous indigenous groups of the region, with notable links to moisture, sky, and personal and familial vitality. For Pueblo groups in particular, turquoise and other blue-green minerals hold a prominent place in myth, ritual, aesthetics, and cosmology. They continue to be used as important offerings,...

Final Report of the Archaeofaunal Remains from Gran Quivira Pueblo (LA 120), Torrance County, New Mexico (2003)
Report to accompany faunal data
Gran Quivira Archaeological Project
Excavations at Gran Quivira (LA 120) in the Salinas area of central New Mexico by Dr. Katherine Spielmann, 1984-1986.
Gran Quivira Faunal Report (2004)
Report on the fauna excavated at Gran Quivira from 1984-1986. Databases have been somewhat altered since this report was produced, but the overall trends are very likely to remain the same.
Gran Quivira faunal data (2003)
Faunal data from the Gran Quivira archaeological project.
Gran Quivira Glaze Ware Database (2015)
This dataset contains information on the glaze ware sherds from the 1984-86 field seasons at Gran Quivira Pueblo, New Mexico. All fill was screened through quarter inch mesh.
Gran Quivira Groundstone Dataset (1985)
This dataset is for the groundstone excavated during the 1985 field season at Gran Quivira Pueblo. The groundstone from the 1986 season has yet to be recorded. All groundstone from this project is housed at the National Park Service's Western Archaeological and Conservation Center in Tucson.
Gran Quivira Limestone Lithic Database (1985)
This dataset is for the limestone lithics excavated in the 1985 field season at Gran Quivira. The sample was large in size and we felt we had learned enough about limestone lithics that the 1986 lithics were not analyzed and we likely were not as careful collecting them as in 1985.
Gran Quivira Lithics Database (1986)
This database is the chipped stone excavated in the 1984-86 field seasons at Gran Quivira Pueblo. N.B.: although it is not a column in this database, some analyses using these data would have recoded all obsidian as '1', all local chert types as '2', and all quartzite as '3.'
Human Vulnerability to Climatic Dry Periods in the Prehistoric U.S. Southwest (2010)
This study investigates the vulnerability of subsistence agriculturalists to food shortfalls associated with dry periods. I approach this effort by evaluating prominent and often implicit conceptual models of vulnerability to dry periods used by archaeologists and other scholars investigating past human adaptations in dry climates. The conceptual models I evaluate rely on an assumption of regional-scale resource marginality and emphasize the contribution of demographic conditions (settlement...

Niche Construction and Common Pool Resource Management in Marginal Environments: A Diachronic Approach (WGF - Dissertation Fieldwork Grant) (2018)
This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Anthropologists have long been concerned with the immense variety of collective institutions developed by small-scale societies to foster solidarity, inculcate values, and manage resources. Long-term studies tracking the development and maintenance of such institutions would greatly benefit a range of social science disciplines, but are unfortunately rare. To this end, the proposed project...
