Basketmaker III on the Chuska Slope, Northwest New Mexico

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Adopting the Pueblo Fettle: The Breadth and Depth of the Basketmaker III Cultural Horizon" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The centuries-long Ancestral Pueblo Basketmaker period occupation of the Chuska Slope in northwest New Mexico was marked by intervals of relative stability punctuated by long and short distance residential moves. Basketmaker settlement and material culture data are examined relative to key aspects of the occupation including 1) the origin of Basketmaker III communities along the Chuska Slope, 2) relationships with more distant Basketmaker III communities, and 3) changes that mark the end of the Basketmaker III interval in the study area. Although Basketmaker settlement of the entire Chuska Slope is addressed, the emphasis is on Tohatchi Flats and the southern portion of the Chuska Slope, areas where most of the research has been conducted.
