This project consists of archaeological excavations conducted by Southern Methodist University, Arizona State University, and University of Colorado at Chaves-Hummingbird Pueblo (LA578), a large Pueblo IV settlement located in the Rio Puerco Valley of central New Mexico. As part of this project, archaeological materials were also analyzed from Pottery Mound Pueblo (LA416).

Deposits in this area were characterized by a relatively dense accumulation of stratified trash that had depths up to 3.4 meters. Due to the large volume of animal bone that was obtained from these excavations, the dataset only includes those...
