Architecture and Ritual Abandonment Sequences at the BaahKu Archaeological Site, Taos Valley, NM

Author(s): Catrina Whitley; Evangelia Tsesmeli

Year: 2019

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This poster presents the variation of architectural features and abandonment processes excavated and interpreted from BaahKu (LA 37627), in Taos Valley, New Mexico. Recent discoveries indicate intra-site variation in both construction and indicating contact and exchange with communities in the greater northern Rio Grande Valley and possibly beyond. This research presents a comparison between two pithouses in close proximity to each other, an atypical trait for the Taos Valley, through their life history (pre-construction through abandonment). We will also present a greater geographic architectural analysis for the Taos Valley through time.
