Keith Kintigh and the Cibola Region over the Long Term

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Attention to Detail: A Pragmatic Career of Research, Mentoring, and Service, Papers in Honor of Keith Kintigh" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This paper provides a brief overview of Keith Kintigh’s career and contributions, with a special emphasis on his research on Pueblo archaeology in the Cibola region of western New Mexico and eastern Arizona. The seeds of many themes in Dr. Kintigh’s research and professional contributions can be seen through his research in the region, which began as a field school participant with the Cibola Archaeological Research Project in the 1970s. His investigations in the Cibola area exemplify the power of a mix of fieldwork, particularly survey, collections research, quantitative methods, and the gradual accumulation and preservation of data for understanding some of the grand challenges of archaeology, including human population movement and responses to environmental change. Through a presentation of the results of this work, including a "grand synthesis" of current settlement data, we explore important themes in Dr. Kintigh’s career and archaeology more broadly.
