Mogollon Murk: Ideas for Some New Ways Forward through Collections and Collaboration (and a Little Fieldwork) (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erin Baxter. Steve Nash. Michele Koons. Deborah Huntley.

This is an abstract from the "Emerging Voices in Mogollon Archaeology" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Emily Haury wrote, “[Mogollon studies are] . . . a currently confused state of affairs. Perhaps in another half century [it] will have reached a state of broad acceptability and equilibrium” (1983:xix). Forty years into the prognostication, have we made inroads? This paper will explore the Denver Museum of Nature & Science’s efforts toward that...

Moho Rising: Sixteenth-century Battlefields, Lived Lives, and the Creation of Archaeological and Historical Frameworks that Work (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Clay Mathers.

For more than 170 years, archaeologists and historians have offered a range of arguments in an attempt to locate the site of the 1541 siege of Moho. Although historical records of the Vázquez de Coronado entrada provide tantalizing clues about the whereabouts of this major battle, generations of scholars have often used an odd amalgam of description, assertion, and evidence to postulate the geographic location of this significant historical site. Carroll Riley’s interest in the deep history of...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brian Maitland.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The use of pitch to coat historic water vessels represents the complex relationships between indigenous peoples and native plants in the American Southwest. Chemical analyses and comparisons were conducted with the intention of sourcing the pitch coating to a specific conifer species. Ponderosa (Pinus ponderosa) and Piñon (Pinus edilus), two species of the...

"Monarchs of All They See": Identity and the Afterlives of the Frontier in Fort Davis, Texas (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Chandler E Fitzsimons.

Fort Davis, a frontier fort in far west Texas tasked with protecting the Overland Trail to California and fighting Comanche, closed in 1891, leaving behind the ethnically and financially diverse town that had grown up around it. This community struggled to redefine itself economically in the years following the fort’s closure, only to find a new lease on life in the first decades of the 20th century as a tourist destination. In this paper, I examine manifestations of intersectional identity in...

Monetized Trade and Correlated Risk in Central California (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Gregory Burns.

This is an abstract from the "Life Is Risky: Human Behavioral Ecological Approaches to Variable Outcomes " session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Isotopic evidence suggests use of shell bead money in central California developed during a time of high environmental uncertainty and decreasing social trust. Monetized exchange likely played a role in risk mitigation while maintaining independence of small groups. As a utility maximizing form of sharing, the...

Monitoring and Predicting the Movement and Degradation of Cultural Resources Through Active Public Participation (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Austin L Burkhard.

Scattered near the coastline of Assateague Island, along the Maryland/Virginia border, hundreds of ships met their demise through harsh weather conditions and treacherous shoals. Similar environmental factors have allowed archaeologists to document these sites through the establishment of a Historic Wreck Tagging Program. The author, working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, developed and implemented a system to track the degradation and movement of shipwreck timbers as a means to manage...
