Year: 1998

Summary

The following is a summary of site LA 37767 unit 51 in the 1998 EMAP (Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project) field season, conducted in the Mimbres region of Southern New Mexico. The project is directed by Dr. Margaret Nelson and Dr. Michelle Hegmon of ASU (Arizona State University), with the assistance of graduate staff and undergraduate students. Unit 51 in site LA 37767 is located in the Seco drainage on a terrace overlooking a wash and a rock face with petroglyphs decorating the surface. Unit 51 connects to unit 50, a habitational room that is part of the western most room block on the site. Original speculation designated unit 51 as a storage area for unit 50, and excavation supported this hypothesis. This area is grassland populated with Pinon, Juniper and presently has a steady flow of water, even in drought conditions. Accompanying this unit are other room blocks on the terrace within the canyon area. Unit 51 was chosen for excavation when excavation in unit 50 expanded into the area occupied by unit 51. Initially there was to be no excavation in unit 51, however while trying to locate a south wall in unit 50 excavation extended into unit 51. It was then decided to continue excavation into unit 51.
