The relationships among land use, population, and environment are not simple. Larger populations impact the environment more than do smaller populations, and environmental marginality promotes greater impacts from human action. While these two statements may be correct at a broad scale, the relationships are not linear. We examine the relationships among these variables using data from eleventh- through thirteenth-century villages and hamlets of prehistoric subsistence agriculturalists from the...

How do human beings cope with their natural and social environments and how do they impact those environments? These issues are of great concern today, and they have been for thousands of years. Hunters and gatherers, farmers, and urban dwellers all must be concerned with their surroundings and how they are using their environment. Their success or failure, their very survival, depends on their interactions with others and with their landscape. Research on the Ladder Ranch traces the Mimbres...

National Geographic Society grant 5213-94 has supported research examining the impact of population dispersion and reorganization in the prehistoric Puebloan Southwest. During the 11th through 14th centuries in the Mimbres region of southwestern New Mexico, large villages were abandoned and population reorganized into small, dispersed pueblos. The shifts in land use and social organization that emerged with this change were examined. Three objectives were pursued: 1) Documentation of regional...

The North American Southwest is an excellent landscape for the study of small scale societies. Sites are visible and well preserved as a result of the aridity and limited modern development in most regions. This aridity, however, posed challenges to prehistoric societies. Our research in the eastern Mimbres area of southwestern New Mexico examines prehistoric land use, challenging some of the basic assumptions that have guided understanding of Mimbres prehistory and the strategies of small...

Time-space systematics for the end of the Classic Mimbres period and subsequent developments in southwest New Mexico are outlined, and the variable spatial scale of these processes is emphasized. The regional unity of the Late Pithouse and Classic periods began to break down around A.D. 1130, a time when disparate developments characterize different portions of the region. The Terminal Classic (ca. A.D. 1130 and later) represents the first steps toward significant and rapid changes and is seen...

During 1997 and 1998, EMAP excavations also began to include earlier sites dating to the Classic Period (A.D. 1000-1150). Prior to these excavations, the majority of comparative data from the Classic Period came from the Mimbres Valley and Upper Gila regions. Excavation at eastern Mimbres sites was a step toward understanding the Classic Period in the eastern Mimbres area. The excavations revealed many material similarities between Mimbres Valley and eastern Mimbres Classic Period sites (Brady...

An understanding of small-scale population movements is essential to recent research on migration. Consideration of the technological style (processes of manufacture) of pottery, in conjunction with petrographic sourcing analyses, provides means of identifying and interpreting population movements at various scales. Diverse styles characterizes Postclassic Mimbres (A.D. 1150-early 1200s) regional reorganization in southwest New Mexico. One new style, indented corrugated pottery, is similar to...

The 1999-2000 Seco survey was designed with several goals in mind. Our first objective was to document Classic period settlement on the Seco drainage, in order to expand our settlement data for the eastern Mimbres for this time period. Second, we wished to revisit Classic Period Palomas sites in order to recheck locations, maps, and to take ceramic collections from these sites. Our third overall objective was to identify Postclassic Period sites on the Seco to determine whether the Postclassic...

Eight flotation samples from two Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project (EMAP) sites were analyzed. Cultigens, primarily maize, were present in most of the samples. A limited array of wild seed taxa were represented as well. The represented wood resources appear to have been drawn from the Great Basin Conifer Woodland biotic province, and augmented by the use of riparian resources. The woods in the assemblages were consistent with a plant resource use pattern that focused on...

Rituals were essential in the lives of the people of the Mimbres. What symbols had meaning in their ritual? How was ceremony structured? Little is known about these aspects of the past because so many prehistoric villages have been destroyed by looters. But Mimbres villages on the Ladder Ranch, in the eastern Mimbres area, have been protected from looters and we have been fortunate in finding many clues to the rituals and ceremonial practices of the people of the Mimbres.

Funds from grant 6612-99 have enabled us to increase information about the Classic Mimbres period in Southwest prehistory and improve our understanding of the relationship between population, subsistence, and mobility. We thoroughly surveyed two drainages and documented most, if not all, Classic Mimbres villages on those drainages. From these data we are able to estimate population, document resource use, evaluate human impacts, and examine possible mobility strategies. These preliminary...

It's obvious to anyone who has spent time in southwest New Mexico, the west-flowing weather is stopped by the mountains. The Upper Gila and Mimbres River Valley get more rain than the Ladder Ranch and other parts of the eastern Mimbres area. The Mimbres River created a fertile and manageable floodplain, perfect for farming with prehistoric technologies. Using nothing more elaborate than stone tools and digging sticks, people in the Mimbres Valley grew fields of corn, beans, and squash, created...

This research was conducted as part of the larger Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project (EMAP), directed by Drs. Michelle Hegmon and Margaret Nelson at Arizona State University. Previous EMAP research has focused on the Ladder Ranch (near...

The relationships among land use, population, and environment are not simple. Larger populations impact the environment more than do smaller populations, and environmental marginality promotes greater impacts from human action. While these two statements may be correct at a broad scale, the relationships are not linear. We examine the relationships among these variables using data from eleventh- through thirteenth-century villages and hamlets of prehistoric subsistence agriculturalists from the...

Change is inevitable, but some changes and transformations are more dramatic and fraught with suffering than others. Resilience theory suggests the concept of a “rigidity trap” as an explanation for these differences. In rigidity traps, a high degree of connectivity and the suppression of innovation prolong an increasingly rigid state, with the result that the eventual transformation is harsh. Three archaeological cases from the U.S. Southwest (Mimbres, Mesa Verde, and Hohokam) and new methods...

This project involves the analysis of 150 obsidian artifacts from 2 sites in southwestern New Mexico. Compositional analysis was conducted using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and the resulting chemical compositions were compared to known obsidian sources in the American Southwest, Northern Mexico, and surrounding regions. The majority of the samples (74%) are from Mule Creek, but Mount Taylor and Jemez Mountains sources are also present. Twenty of the samples all belong to the same group of...

The southwestern United States has a spectacular arid landscape of broad desert basins, wooded plateaux and canyons, and forested mountains. When Spanish explorers first entered the region they met Native American populations who had lived for a thousand years in small agricultural settlements called pueblos, as well as mobile hunting and gathering groups that had moved into the area more recently. Despite subsequent centuries of colonization these people have maintained their cultural...
