Summary
In 2003, a master’s thesis project examined a multicomponent Navajo habitation site dating to the 17th-18th centuries in the Dinétah region of northwest New Mexico. The initial survey program carried out a number of activities, including site mapping, surface collection, and artifact analyses; however, certain questions were left unanswered. A new phase of research initiated in the summer of 2017 aims to better characterize the site and explore the possibility of a pastoral adaptation on the part of the site’s Diné inhabitants. This talk presents several findings from this new investigation alongside a detailed reanalysis of the ceramic and lithic assemblages collected in 2003.
