3-Up Site (LA 150373) - Unit Summaries
Part of: MPLP - Unit Summaries
The Mogollon Prehistoric Landscapes Project, co-directed by Drs. Margaret Nelson and Karen Schollmeyer from 2007-2013 (with Dr. Steve Swanson as a co-director in 2007-2008). MPLP built upon earlier work by Nelson and Dr. Michelle Hegmon as part of the Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project (EMAP). The project is based in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University and the collections are housed at ASU's Center for Archaeology and Society. MPLP focuses on understanding social connections and land use during the Postclassic period (A.D. 1130-1400+) in the Mimbres area of the Mogollon region in southwest New Mexico. This collection includes all the excavation records from the project.

3-Up Site (LA 150373) - Unit 101 Summary (2007)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Unit 101 is located in Area A of the 3-Up Site, at the western edge of a large mound cut deeply by a bulldozer. This unit was selected for excavation to provide a profile of mound stratigraphy without extensive excavation of unlooted areas, and to enhance information recovered from a test-profile in the same room during fall of 2005 conducted by Roger Anyon. Anyon’s profile was excavated along the exposed north wall of the room, but was unable to confidently locate floor features due to the...

3-Up Site (LA 150373) - Unit 102 Summary (2007)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Unit 102 is located in Area A of the 3-Up Site, near the northeastern corner of a large mound along a 1 to 2 m deep bulldozed trench. This unit was selected for excavation to provide additional information on the depositional history for this part of the site. The bulldozer trench that cuts through this part of the mound revealed possible wall alignments along its length, and we placed the unit in a location where the trench appeared to have clipped only part of a prehistoric room located some...

3-Up Site (LA 150373) - Unit 201 Summary (2007)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Unit 201 is located in Area B, at the northern edge of a large bulldozer cut through the central portion of Area B. This excavation unit was intended primarily to allow excavators to expose a profile and examine stratigraphy in this area without doing extensive excavation or disturbing the remaining unlooted portions of the site. The unit’s location at the edge of a deep, steep-sided bulldozer cut was ideal for this purpose. No walls were visible in the portion of Area B near the bulldozer cut,...

3-Up Site (LA 150373) - Unit 301 Summary (2007)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Unit 301 is located on the western side of Mound C in the 3-Up site. The unit was excavated through the overburden of a bulldozer cut and into intact deposits. While the small size of the unit and the lack of walls exposed limited our ability to fully understand the contexts of the cultural surfaces located in Unit 301, the excavation produced a number of artifacts and dateable samples that will provide information about the occupational history of Mound C.
