Salado Projectile Point Technology at the Gila River Farm Site, Southwestern New Mexico

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Mogollon, Mimbres, and Salado Archaeology in Southwest New Mexico and Beyond" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This research examines the projectile point assemblage from the Gila River Farm site, a Cliff phase (AD 1300–1450) Salado site excavated by the Archaeology Southwest and University of Arizona Upper Gila Preservation Archaeology (UGPA) field school from 2016 to 2022. The projectile point assemblage was recovered from adobe structures and some non-feature contexts. We examine spatial patterns within the projectile point assemblage from this site, and also compare these data with results from other Salado archaeological sites. The results allow a better understanding of site and regional level patterns characterizing technological and social behaviors during this time period.
