Direct evidence of the presence of the Mexican indigenous soldiers that accompanied the Coronado entrada into what is now the United States has remained invisible. Dolan and Shackley's recent examination of the presence of four obsidian blades produced from obsidian sources in the Sierra de Pachuca in Hidalgo state of Mexico, was the first intensive examination of artifacts that could directly signal the presence of Mexican indigenous soldiers north of Mexico, although only two had adequate provenience. Since then, three obsidian artifacts, produced from the Zinapécuaro obsidian source from Michoacán state of México were recovered and determined to be from that source by XRF at Piedras Marcadas Pueblo in the Middle Rio Grande valley in Albuquerque, New Mexico, besieged by Coronado and his soldiers in the winter of AD 1540–1541. This is the best direct evidence of artifacts transported by the “indios amigos” to the Middle Rio Grande valley.
陪同科罗纳多号进入现在的美国的墨西哥土著士兵的直接证据仍然是看不见的。Dolan和Shackley最近对墨西哥伊达尔戈州的Sierra de Pachuca发现的四块黑石刀片进行了研究，这是第一次对可以直接表明墨西哥北部存在墨西哥土著士兵的文物进行深入研究，尽管只有两块有足够的证据。从那时起，三件黑石文物被XRF在新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基中里奥格兰德河谷的Piedras Marcadas Pueblo找到，并确定是来自墨西哥米高肯州的Zinapécuaro黑石来源，该地区于公元1540年至1541年冬季被科罗纳多和他的士兵围困。这是“indios amigos”向中里奥格兰德河谷运送文物的最佳直接证据。

Analysis of artifacts collected by the late Helen G. Blumenschein (HGB) provides a region-wide database for obsidian use between the Middle – Late Archaic and the Talpa phase in the Taos area of northern New Mexico, approximately 3000 B.C.E. to 1300 C.E. Using GIS to associate these artifacts with site locations from HGB’s records and the current site files maintained by the State of New Mexico allows us to verify locations of HGB’s work and to associate these artifacts with documented archaeological sites. However, many of HGB’s collection localities are not presently recorded in official site records, meaning that a significant amount of data can still be recovered from these 50+ year old documents. Results of our obsidian sourcing suggest that El Rechuelos obsidian accounts for nearly two-thirds of obsidian use between the Archaic and the Talpa phase, indicating a consistent lithic-source preference by Taos-area residents over several millennia.

Corrugated vessels are ubiquitous throughout the US Southwest, and yet their research potential is often overlooked. This paper quantifies how much uniformity or variability goes into the process of manufacturing these objects. The paper focuses on the fundamental, early-stage technological choice of coiling direction. Does coiling direction determine other attributes visible on ceramic vessel bodies, specifically indentation angle? To answer this question, I closely examine whole and majority-intact ceramic vessels. The sample comprises 255 vessels with exposed coiling or corrugation. The goals of the study are twofold: 1) to resolve whether indentation angles on corrugated sherds are a good proxy for coiling direction, and 2) to define the distributional patterns of coiling direction across the Ancestral Pueblo and Mogollon regions of the Southwest. Results indicate 1) indentation angle is associated with coiling direction, but perhaps not closely enough to make indentation angle a wholly reliable proxy for coiling direction; and 2) coiling direction is nearly uniformly counterclockwise with clinal variation at the southern and northern bounds of the US Southwest and a temporal trend toward clockwise coiling.

A recent archaeological survey disclosed a whole, S-shaped “grooved club” similar to examples from Basketmaker II contexts of the Four-Corners. It represents the farthest north example of this artifact type in the Southwest, occurring outside the traditional area of western Basketmaker II occupation. Artifacts like this were once thought to be a characteristic Basketmaker II trait of the Four Corners, but examples come from sites distributed throughout the Southwest and beyond and from temporal intervals well before and after Basketmaker II. A study of the new find promised to shed some additional light on this enigmatic artifact class by expanding the geographic range of known occurrences, providing an additional radiocarbon age estimate, and perhaps revealing new or corroborative information about use. This paper covers these aspects and more.

One of the main things that struck me as I was reading this was the lack of bitterness or anger at the situations these women faced. They were sometimes harrowing and often frustrating, yet, they are conveyed as issues that had to be dealt with and ultimately were. It is that degree of acceptance of the challenge to succeed despite the obstacles that stood in the way that represents one of the biggest impacts of this book. The resilience of these women is truly outstanding. I think that this book will be of significant interest to graduate students, Great Basin archaeologists, and other archaeologists who have experienced challenges in reaching their career goals These are important lessons for any reader. I also hope that everyone who reads it can learn about the impact of mentorship and the value that it has reaped.

Pueblo Bonito is the largest and most centrally located great house in Chaco Canyon. One of its most striking attributes is its abundance of “exceptional deposits” of rare and unusual objects. It is unclear, however, whether Pueblo Bonito's assemblage reflects its unique status in the Chaco world or whether it is a product of sampling bias. To answer this question, we use binomial probabilities to interpret the significance of both finding, and of failing to find, exceptional deposits in other great houses. Our analysis suggests that excavated great houses can be grouped into three categories with respect to exceptional deposits: those that likely contain frequencies comparable to Pueblo Bonito; those with frequencies substantially less than Pueblo Bonito; and those that have been insufficiently sampled to make strong inferences. Variation and uncertainty in the presence of exceptional deposits have important implications for interpreting great house functions and Chacoan sociopolitical organization.
Pueblo Bonito是查科峡谷中最大、位于最中心的大房子。它最引人注目的特点之一是拥有丰富的稀有和不寻常物品的“特殊矿床”。然而，目前尚不清楚普韦布洛-博尼托的组合是否反映了它在查科世界的独特地位，或者它是否是抽样偏见的产物。为了回答这个问题，我们使用二项式概率来解释在其他大房子中发现和未能发现异常矿床的重要性。我们的分析表明，就特殊沉积物而言，挖掘出的大房子可以分为三类：那些可能包含与普韦布洛博尼托类似频率的房子；那些频率明显低于普韦布洛-博尼托的人；以及那些采样不足而无法做出有力推断的样本。异常矿床存在的变化和不确定性对解释大宅院功能和Chacoan社会政治组织具有重要意义。

Symmetry analysis characterizes ∼1300 geometric designs on bowl interiors from five sites of the Mimbres culture tradition, AD 1000–1150, of southwestern New Mexico. The analysis reveals a distinct homogeneity in pattern structure and color on three layouts (pendant, centered and band) that, classified by plane pattern symmetries, shows a preference for four finite structures (C2, C4, D2, D4) and two one-dimensional structures (p112, pmm2) and a diversity of one-color, colored, and two-color arrangements of solid and hatched motifs. The analysis reveals common shared symmetries among neighboring cultural traditions to the south in northern Mexico, to the west among the Hohokam, and to the north among the Ancestral Pueblo of central New Mexico. Classification of the designs by symmetry enables detection of experimentation in the evolution of the design system wherein finite designs were placed within banded layouts.

A total of 200,000+ large timbers were transported >75 km to Chaco Canyon, a political and religious center in the precontact U.S. Southwest, using only human power. Previous researchers reported that typical primary roof beams (vigas) of Chacoan Great Houses averaged 0.22 m in diameter and 5 m in length with a mass of 275 kg. However, the 275 kg mass appears to be a miscalculation. Here, we calculate that a ponderosa pine timber of the stated dimensions would have a mass between 85–140 kg depending on the water content. While still a prodigious load, this recalculated mass requires revisions to estimates of the labor, time, and energy required to build Great Houses at Chaco. Based on contemporary measurements on professional load carriers and soldiers, we estimate that as few as two people could have carried an 85 kg timber across 100 km in as few as 21 h of active walking. 200,000+ maderas grandes fueron transportadas >75 km hasta el Cañón del Chaco, un centro político y religioso precolombino en el suroeste de los EE.UU., utilizando únicamente fuerza humana.

Aunque sigue siendo una carga prodigiosa, esta masa recalculada requiere revisiones de las estimaciones de la fuerza laboral, el tiempo y la energía totales necesarios para construir las Casas Grandes en Chaco. Basado en medidas contemporáneas sobre profesionales de carga y soldados, nosotros estimamos que tan solo 2 personas podrían cargar una madera de 85 kg a través de 100 km en tan solo ∼ 21 horas de caminata activa.

Basado en medidas contemporáneas sobre profesionales de carga y soldados, nosotros estimamos que tan solo 2 personas podrían cargar una madera de 85 kg a través de 100 km en tan solo ∼ 21 horas de caminata activa.","PeriodicalId":44778,"journal":{"name":"Kiva-Journal of Southwestern Anthropology and History","volume":"89 1","pages":"78 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43475761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At Lowry Pueblo, small fragments of painted plaster are all that remain of a bold white step pattern mural that once decorated Kivas A and B. We used the following analytical techniques to study these fragments: visual microscopic analysis, portable X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer, powder X-ray diffraction, and radiocarbon dating. We identified zinc oxide and lead sulfate pigment minerals in the glossy white paint, whereas calcium carbonate was identified as the pigment for the matte white paint. Radiocarbon dating of a lead layer places mural production at 1030–1210 cal A.D., consistent with occupation at Lowry Pueblo Great House. Stratigraphic analyses of the painted plaster layers reveals that underlying glossy white paint was applied before the ultimate matte white layer. The change in pigment source and paint recipes demonstrate a design-modifying choice made by the kiva painters.
