Prehistoric Land Use in the Southern Tularosa Basin, New Mexico
Author(s): Neal Ackerly
Year: 2016
Summary
Systematic archaeological survey of more than 100,000 acres in the southern Tularosa Basin of New Mexico has resulted in the discovery of almost 600 prehistoric sites and upwards of 65,000 isolated occurrences. These data, combined with highly detailed information regarding environmental characteristics of the study area, allow time-sequent reconstructions of land-use patterns over thousands of years. To anticipate more detailed discussions, there is evidence for long-term central places that structured past land use in the southern Tularosa Basin.
