Recent Research at Jornada Mogollon Sites in South-Central New Mexico

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 84th Annual Meeting, Albuquerque, NM (2019)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Recent Research at Jornada Mogollon Sites in South-Central New Mexico," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Over the past few years, archaeological field projects in south-central New Mexico have generated new information about the prehistory of the region. Surveys and test excavations have revealed new data about the settlement patterns, village size, trading networks, ritual practices and daily lives of Jornada Mogollon groups. In this symposium, topics discussed include pottery manufacture, ritual termination of structures, the use and sourcing of rare artifacts such quartz crystals and ornaments made of turquoise, copper and shell. During the Dona Ana phase (AD 1000 to 1250), there is a marked increase in pottery importation from the Mimbres region possibly offering evidence for Mimbres Mogollon integration into the area. In the subsequent El Paso phase (AD 1250 to 1450), the region became a hub for trading pottery from Casas Grandes, Ancestral Pueblo, Northern Jornada and Salado groups. The objective of this symposium is to synthesize the current data and offer leads for future research direction.
