Analysis of Prehistoric Flagstaff Cultural Developments

Summary

The chronology of prehistoric cultural developments within the American Southwest has been a subject of interest and debate since the archaeologists began to study the region. Although archaeologists have recognized patterns of aggregation throughout the Southwest, the degree to which the patterns are synchronous through prehistory remains uncertain. This research focuses on the development of a cultural chronology of the prehistoric Flagstaff area ranging from A.D. 600 through A.D. 1300, constructed using tree-ring data and mean ceramic dates. The chronology tracks the development of cultural phases based on aggregation and ceramic traditions. I compare resulting chronology to other chronologies to test a theory of simultaneous development in the Southwest region.
