How Contemporary Pueblo Farming Practices Can Inform Archaeological Approaches to Understanding Pas Farming Practices

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Field Houses and Traditional Agricultural Landscapes of the Northern US Southwest" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Pueblo Indian People have been farming in the North American Southwest for generations. Evidence of this exists across the landscape of the greater Southwest. More and more, archaeology is being informed by Indigenous knowledge and epistimologies that allow for a richer and more nuanced understanding of the past, while acknowledging the interconnectedness of contemporary Pueblo Peoples to our pasts. This paper synthesizes the experience and knowledge of contemporary Pueblo farming practicioners and weaves that knowledge into archaeological understandings of past farming practices.
