Recent Archaeological Research in the Upper Gila
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)
The Upper Gila cross-cuts a number of archaeological regions in Arizona and New Mexico and includes the area surrounding the Gila River and its tributaries east of the San Pedro River. The purpose of this symposium is to highlight the diversity of occupation and time depth in the region. Although the Upper Gila is rich with archaeological sites, archaeological research is lacking compared to neighboring regions. This symposium brings together researchers working throughout the Upper Gila to share their recent research efforts related to the Early Agricultural, Early Pithouse, Mimbres Late Pithouse, Classic, and Salado periods. These investigations showcase the research potential in the Upper Gila region.
