The Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project conducted non-disturbing, non-collecting surface archaeological survey in the Gila National Forest from June 5 through June 15, 2003, in order to identify prehistoric agricultural features in the eastern Mimbres area. This research was conducted as part of the larger Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project (EMAP), directed by Drs. Michelle Hegmon and Margaret Nelson at Arizona State University. Previous EMAP research has focused on the Ladder Ranch (near...

The relationships among land use, population, and environment are not simple. Larger populations impact the environment more than do smaller populations, and environmental marginality promotes greater impacts from human action. While these two statements may be correct at a broad scale, the relationships are not linear. We examine the relationships among these variables using data from eleventh- through thirteenth-century villages and hamlets of prehistoric subsistence agriculturalists from the...

Change is inevitable, but some changes and transformations are more dramatic and fraught with suffering than others. Resilience theory suggests the concept of a “rigidity trap” as an explanation for these differences. In rigidity traps, a high degree of connectivity and the suppression of innovation prolong an increasingly rigid state, with the result that the eventual transformation is harsh. Three archaeological cases from the U.S. Southwest (Mimbres, Mesa Verde, and Hohokam) and new methods...

This project involves the analysis of 150 obsidian artifacts from 2 sites in southwestern New Mexico. Compositional analysis was conducted using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and the resulting chemical compositions were compared to known obsidian sources in the American Southwest, Northern Mexico, and surrounding regions. The majority of the samples (74%) are from Mule Creek, but Mount Taylor and Jemez Mountains sources are also present. Twenty of the samples all belong to the same group of...

The southwestern United States has a spectacular arid landscape of broad desert basins, wooded plateaux and canyons, and forested mountains. When Spanish explorers first entered the region they met Native American populations who had lived for a thousand years in small agricultural settlements called pueblos, as well as mobile hunting and gathering groups that had moved into the area more recently. Despite subsequent centuries of colonization these people have maintained their cultural...

Ten samples were selected form LA 3949 in New Mexico for pollen. All of the samples, based on the provenience notes, come from floors. Pollen deposited in the course of processing, cooking, craft manufacture, and storage is mixed on floors by walking, sweeping, and other activities. Over time, some of this pollen becomes compacted into floor sediments incorporating a “time-averaged” record of resource use mixed with the regional pollen rain. It is not possible to talk about change over time...

EMAP focuses on the later (post-AD 1000) prehistory of the eastern Mimbres area, a portion of the Mimbres region in southwest New Mexico. In 1982 Nelson was at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque and in the early 1990s at the State University of New York, Buffalo, and Hegmon was at New Mexico State University, Las Cruces.
