Landscape Archaeology and Plant Use in Northern Durango, Mexico

Summary

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

This paper presents the results paleoethnobotanical and architectural analyses at two prehispanic sites in northern Durango, Mexico. The sites, Corral de Piedra (PAS017) and Los Berros (PAS023), were recently excavated as part of the Proyecto Arqueológico Sextín" which seeks to build a "deep chronology" in the Sextín valley located at the frontier between the "southwest" and "mesoamerica". Here we contextualize aspects of everyday life related to the environment -built and not built- in order to consider how dwelling in the Sextin changed through time.
