A Historic House Excavation Near Janos, Northwest Chihuahua, Mexico
Author(s): Rex E. Gerald
Year: 1957
Summary
The historic site, Chihuahua D:4:2, was excavated as part of a long-range plan to study the aboriginal and alien cultures of northwestern Chihuahua. This plan includes an archaeological survey of the area, test excavations in representative sites in order to define cultural assemblages or phases, and finally, through the use of the information thus derived, a study of the cultural dynamics of the area. It is believed that the study of the aboriginal cultures of this region should begin at a point in time and space that would provide the soundest basis for the continuing study. Some of the ruins of prehistoric cultures of northwestern Chihuahua have been known for years through travelers' descriptions, sporadic studies by Mexican and American archaeologists, and art objects looted from the sites by local pothunters; however, few intensive excavations have been made and reported.
