This document is a report on archaeological research conducted on the Ladder Ranch under the direction of Drs. Margaret Nelson and Michelle Hegmon. Emphasis is on the work conducted during the summer of 1994, though we also discuss analyses of 1993 materials done after the 1993 report was completed and plans for further technical analysis. This document serves as an interim report of our activities supported by the two-year (1994-1995) grant from the Turner Foundation. This report is structured...

National Geographic Society grant 5213-94 has supported research examining the impact of population dispersion and reorganization in the prehistoric Puebloan Southwest. During the 11th through 14th centuries in the Mimbres region of southwestern New Mexico, large villages were abandoned and population reorganized into small, dispersed pueblos. The shifts in land use and social organization that emerged with this change were examined. Three objectives were pursued: 1) Documentation of regional...

The North American Southwest is an excellent landscape for the study of small scale societies. Sites are visible and well preserved as a result of the aridity and limited modern development in most regions. This aridity, however, posed challenges to prehistoric societies. Our research in the eastern Mimbres area of southwestern New Mexico examines prehistoric land use, challenging some of the basic assumptions that have guided understanding of Mimbres prehistory and the strategies of small...

This study concerns the use of wood for primary posts in Mimbres room blocks from the Eastern Mimbres area that date to the Classic and Postclassic periods. Sixty-seven flotation samples were analyzed from floor features and post hole features believed to have served as the primary load-bearing supports in rooms excavated by the Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project (EMAP). The probable wood type of the post for each floor feature was assigned and both synchronic and diachronic comparisons in...

PROJECT Michelle Hegmon. Margaret C. Nelson.

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. In 1995...
