The Development of Western Pueblo Culture

Author(s): Alfred E. Johnson

Year: 1965

Summary

Archaeological research in east-central Arizona and west-central New Mexico has succeeded in defining a distinctive cultural entity, the Mogollon, which came into existence about A.D. 1 and lasted until A.D. 1000. The 1000 years of Mogollon culture history are characterized by the indigenous evolution of pithouse villages, brownware pottery, and various artifact forms. Flexed inhumation was the characteristic burial type. Foreign influences were relatively insignificant, resulting in the introduction of a few architectural and artifact forms from the Annasi Pueblo area, and in different artifacts and an alternative method of disposal of the dead, cremation, from the Hohokam area.
