EMAP - Ceramics Database
The Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project (EMAP), co-directed by Drs. Margaret Nelson and Michelle Hegmon began in 1990, building upon earlier work by Nelson. 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.

EMAP LA3949 Unit 13 writeup 2017 (2017)
Unit 13 was a relatively small rectangular room (2.5 x 4.3 = 10.8 square meters) single story room in what was called the South Two-Story section of the Postclassic pueblo at Las Animas Village. Its size and the absence of a hearth suggest that Unit 13 served as a storage room. It was repeatedly remodeled, as indicated by three floor layers. No chronometric dates were obtained from this room.
EMAP LA3949 Unit 5 writeup 2017 (2003)
Unit 5 was a very well-preserved two-story room in the South Two-Story section of the Postclassic pueblo at Las Animas Village (3.5 x 4 = 14 square meters). It was built on top of a much earlier pithouse or pit feature. Unit 5 was part of a larger two-story construction, including Unit 8/15 to the north. When it was built, the first and second story rooms seem to have been very similar, both with hearths just east of center, both bisected by a row of roof support posts. After some use the...
EMAP LA3949 Units 3 & 4 writeup 2017 (2017)
Unit 4 was a fairly well-preserved two-story room in the West Side section of the Postclassic pueblo at Las Animas Village. Other rooms to the south (Unit 5 and Units 8, 14,15) were also two story and had been filled in prehistorically so their second story floors were nearly intact. In contrast, Unit 4’s second story collapsed and only a portion of it was found, mostly in the southeast corner of the room. The lower, first-story floor of Unit 4 had been substantially remodeled. Two large roof...
