The Architecture of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project

Summary

This is an abstract from the "The Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project: A Multivocal Analysis of the San Juan Basin as a Cultural Landscape" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Architecture is an intimate element of material culture, and was employed by hunter-gatherers, farmers, and pastoralists for thousands of years throughout the Navajo-Gallup project area. The way in which individuals constructed and organized space within these structures are specific to different cultures, time periods, and functions. This paper summarizes architectural units excavated in the San Juan Basin as part of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project over the last 6 years, including Archaic, Basketmaker, Pueblo, and Navajo components. These architectural types are summarized and placed in a larger context of other architectural units known to exist in the region.
