Comparative Distribution of Kayenta Ground Stone in Hohokam and Mogollon Salado Sites

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.

Ground stone is a ubiquitous artifact type throughout the Southwest after the advent of agriculture, and a useful indicator of technology, cultural variation, and individual preference. During the Salado phenomenon in southwest New Mexico and southeast Arizona (~AD 1300–1450), it became a distinguishing artifact type between regional locals, the Mogollon and Hohokam, and Kayenta or Ancestral Puebloan immigrants from the north. This poster hopes to look at the difference in presence and distribution of finger-groove manos and full-groove ax heads in the Upper Gila region versus the San Pedro region, to examine the differences in how the technology was used and received when in contact with two different cultural spheres.
