Mogollon, Mimbres, and Salado Archaeology in Southwest New Mexico and Beyond

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 88th Annual Meeting, Portland, OR (2023)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Mogollon, Mimbres, and Salado Archaeology in Southwest New Mexico and Beyond" at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Southwest New Mexico from AD 600 to 1450 encompasses multiple archaeological culture areas differentiated by patterns in ceramics, architecture, and other material culture. The highly diverse archaeological record of this region makes it well suited to exploring change over time, including migration, responses to environmental change, and internal sociopolitical reorganization. This variability also offers opportunities for comparisons with other areas of the US Southwest at larger spatial scales. This session brings together diverse approaches to understanding this temporal and spatial variability, including GIS, chipped stone, ground stone, ceramic, and paleoethnobotanical analyses, as well as experimental archaeology.
