Archaeological Pollen Study of Two Dune Sites in New Mexico (1976)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Study of the pollen of 4 surface and 41 stratigraphic and archaeological-context sediment samples was undertaken to provide independent evidence of the antiquity of sites LA 11828 and LA 11904, and of the hypothesis the two sites had the same cultural functions. The pollen record suggests the two sites differ in antiquity: the occupation horizon samples from LA 11828 correspond to others that date to the Historic Period, while those from LA 11904 correspond to others that date 1800 - 300 B.C....

Archeology of Pajarito Park, New Mexico (1904)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
In the summer of 1896 the writer commenced to investigate the archeology of the plateau between the Jemez mountain range and the Rio Grande in New Mexico. The ethnological significance of this region seemed at that time to have been overlooked, nor has it yet received much attention. The studies then begun have continued intermittently ever since. The first object was to obtain such facts as could be obtained by exploration, photography, and a limited amount of excavation. I hope to be...

Architectural Petterning in Residential Structures of the Gallina Phase from Northwestern New Mexico (2008)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
ABSTRACT The Gallina Phase (A.D. 1100 – 1275) is an Anasazi adaptation to the highlands along the Continental Divide of northwestern New Mexico. It is best described as marginal to developmental trends shaping the Puebloan world around it, appearing quite conservative in numerous aspects. Residential architecture is one aspect in which the Gallina Phase developed along its own trajectory. The residential pit structures and surface structures are used to evaluate spatial and temporal...

Culture and Ecology of Chaco Canyon and the San Juan Basin (2005)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Today Chaco Canyon is a tourist and research destination, but this was not always so. We now know that Archaic hunters and gatherers camped there over several millennia; ancestors of historic Pueblo people dependent on maize agriculture created the masonry structures for which Chaco Canyon National Monument was established. The canyon is now home to only a few National Park Service (NPS) employees, who live amidst Navajo sheep- and cattle-ranchers whose ancestors came to this area after the...

Post-Chacoan Social Integration at the Hinkson Site, New Mexico (1996)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
The century following the collapse of Chaco is often viewed as a time of cultural backsliding. However, imposing sites with Chaco-inspired public architecture provide evidence of large communities, dating between A.D. 1200 and 1275, that laid the organizational foundations of well-known Pueblo IV towns. This article reports on excavations at one such Zuni-area settlement. the Hinkson site. In this site, 32 residential room blocks surround a great house complex that includes an unroofed, oversize...

A Post-Glacial Pollen Sequence From Dark Canyon Cave, New Mexico (1961)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Unpublished report, 1961 Complacent pollen records associated with both extinct fauna and archaeological remains argues that Southwest has been semi-arid throughout Late- and Post-Pleistocene.

Remote Sensing Methodology and the Chaco Canyon Prehistoric Road System (1977)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
The purpose of this remote sensing project focusing on Chaco Canyon National Monument in northwestern New Mexico was two-fold. The first objective was to determine the capabilities of various types of remotely sensed data and interpretive instruments in delineating cultural features such as prehistoric roads. The second objective was to explore the extent and character on the ruin of Pueblo Alto, one of the major ruins in the monument. In addition, we offer suggestions for future research on...
