1-7 (7 Records)
The foundations of Ancestral Pueblo community organization were codified in aggregated communities during the Basketmaker III Period (A.D. 500-725). This study compares morphological differences in public architecture and habitation pit structures at several aggregated sites in the Northern San Juan Region to reveal functional specialization of space associated with both long-term habitation and periodic communal gathering behavior. This specialization may reflect the primary social institutions...

An Examination of Spatial Relationships using GIS data from the Basketmaker Communities Project (2015)
The Basketmaker Communities Project (BCP) is a multiyear investigation by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center in Cortez, Colorado of one of the largest Basketmaker III communities known in the central Mesa Verde region. This paper examines a combination of artifact, architectural, and spatial information from 97 sites collected by Woods Canyon Archaeological Consultants and Crow Canyon Archaeological Research Center. By using ESRI’s GIS software to analyze (BCP) data this study applies...
How Chaco Got the Point: Exploring the Technological Transition from Atlatl to Bow and Arrow at Chaco Canyon (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recent scholarship has recognized that the foundational elements of the Ancestral Puebloan culture observed during the height of the Chacoan Phenomenon first began to appear during the Basketmaker III time period (AD 450-750), with the construction of kivas, the emergence of vast trade networks, and population aggregation. However, one interesting aspect of...
The Indian Camp Ranch Community: a Two Hundred Year-Long History of a Basketmaker III Community in Southwest Colorado (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Adopting the Pueblo Fettle: The Breadth and Depth of the Basketmaker III Cultural Horizon" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Basketmaker III is a formative period in Ancestral Pueblo history but has rarely been researched at the settlement level. Crow Canyon Archaeological Center’s Basketmaker Communities Project investigated a concentration of 79 Basketmaker III sites in a square kilometer area of southwest Colorado and...
