The Big Bend Complex: Landscapes of History

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 86th Annual Meeting, Online (2021)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "The Big Bend Complex: Landscapes of History" at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Big Bend region of west Texas in the United States and Chihuahua and Coahuila in Mexico is an area

of great archaeological, ecological, and historical significance for both countries. Unfortunately, not enough research has been conducted on this region, especially on the Mexican side. This session will be examining this region from prehistory to the present and showing the cultural diversity of different communities that made the Big Bend their home.
