The relationships among land use, population, and environment are not simple. Larger populations impact the environment more than do smaller populations, and environmental marginality promotes greater impacts from human action. While these two statements may be correct at a broad scale, the relationships are not linear. We examine the relationships among these variables using data from eleventh- through thirteenth-century villages and hamlets of prehistoric subsistence agriculturalists from the...

How do human beings cope with their natural and social environments and how do they impact those environments? These issues are of great concern today, and they have been for thousands of years. Hunters and gatherers, farmers, and urban dwellers all must be concerned with their surroundings and how they are using their environment. Their success or failure, their very survival, depends on their interactions with others and with their landscape. Research on the Ladder Ranch traces the Mimbres...

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.

Time-space systematics for the end of the Classic Mimbres period and subsequent developments in southwest New Mexico are outlined, and the variable spatial scale of these processes is emphasized. The regional unity of the Late Pithouse and Classic periods began to break down around A.D. 1130, a time when disparate developments characterize different portions of the region. The Terminal Classic (ca. A.D. 1130 and later) represents the first steps toward significant and rapid changes and is seen...

During 1997 and 1998, EMAP excavations also began to include earlier sites dating to the Classic Period (A.D. 1000-1150). Prior to these excavations, the majority of comparative data from the Classic Period came from the Mimbres Valley and Upper Gila regions. Excavation at eastern Mimbres sites was a step toward understanding the Classic Period in the eastern Mimbres area. The excavations revealed many material similarities between Mimbres Valley and eastern Mimbres Classic Period sites (Brady...

Consideration of the technological style (processes of manufacture) of pottery, in conjunction with petrographic sourcing analyses, provides means of identifying and interpreting population movements at various scales. Diverse styles characterizes Postclassic Mimbres (A.D. 1150-early 1200s) regional reorganization in southwest New Mexico. One new style, indented corrugated pottery, is similar to...

The 1999-2000 Seco survey was designed with several goals in mind. Our first objective was to document Classic period settlement on the Seco drainage, in order to expand our settlement data for the eastern Mimbres for this time period. Second, we wished to revisit Classic Period Palomas sites in order to recheck locations, maps, and to take ceramic collections from these sites. Our third overall objective was to identify Postclassic Period sites on the Seco to determine whether the Postclassic...

Eight flotation samples from two Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project (EMAP) sites were analyzed. Cultigens, primarily maize, were present in most of the samples. A limited array of wild seed taxa were represented as well. The represented wood resources appear to have been drawn from the Great Basin Conifer Woodland biotic province, and augmented by the use of riparian resources. The woods in the assemblages were consistent with a plant resource use pattern that focused on...

Rituals were essential in the lives of the people of the Mimbres. What symbols had meaning in their ritual? How was ceremony structured? Little is known about these aspects of the past because so many prehistoric villages have been destroyed by looters. But Mimbres villages on the Ladder Ranch, in the eastern Mimbres area, have been protected from looters and we have been fortunate in finding many clues to the rituals and ceremonial practices of the people of the Mimbres.

It's obvious to anyone who has spent time in southwest New Mexico, the west-flowing weather is stopped by the mountains. The Upper Gila and Mimbres River Valley get more rain than the Ladder Ranch and other parts of the eastern Mimbres area.

Change is inevitable, but some changes and transformations are more dramatic and fraught with suffering than others. Resilience theory suggests the concept of a “rigidity trap” as an explanation for these differences. In rigidity traps, a high degree of connectivity and the suppression of innovation prolong an increasingly rigid state, with the result that the eventual transformation is harsh. Three archaeological cases from the U.S. Southwest (Mimbres, Mesa Verde, and Hohokam) and new methods...

The southwestern United States has a spectacular arid landscape of broad desert basins, wooded plateaux and canyons, and forested mountains.
