Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Some Southwest researchers consider the Middle San Juan area insignificant when compared to the Cibola-Chaco traditional homelands to the south and the Mesa Verde traditional homelands to the North. On the contrary, ongoing research suggests a web of dynamic interregional and intraregional networks existed in the Middle San Juan from AD 750 to regional abandonment about AD 1300. Ceramic, lithic, and architectural analyses detail trade and exchange networks that existed among the extensive communities of Ancestral Puebloans in the Middle San Juan region. These communities served as adaptation centers for localized expression of regional cultural spheres of influence through time.
