Homol'ovi: A Gathering Place
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)
In 1985 the Homol'ovi Research Program (HRP) was established at Arizona State Museum (ASM) to focus on the late prehispanic occupation of the middle Little Colorado River valley as expressed in the aggregated villages of the Homol'ovi Settlement Cluster. In 2011 research expanded to study use of the landscape going back to Basketmaker II to provide context to the large, late pueblos. This symposium presents recent analyses and syntheses of the extensive body of research conducted by ASM for the past 30 years. The symposium will represent the diverse research initiatives of HRP including identity of groups who established and populated the late 13th/14th century villages; the materiality of depopulation and room closure; social and ritual construction, practice and material expression; the pre-aggregation social landscape; regional exchange; innovation and the role of new technologies in community building.
