Ceramics from the Mogollon Early Pithouse period (AD 200-700) of southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico consist of plain and red-slipped pottery. Even though numerous neutron activation analysis (NAA) studies have been conducted in the Mogollon region to examine pottery circulation and social networks, these studies generally focused on later types. We report the results of our NAA study that focused exclusively on Mogollon Early Pithouse pottery. We use the NAA data to explore how the pots (and people) moved across the landscape during the Early Pithouse period in the Mogollon region. We suggest that the pottery was not all locally produced. There was movement of pots, and likely people, within and between regions as well as between sites. Our analysis reveals differences in the movement of the plain brown and red-slipped ceramics. Our study shows that unpainted ceramics can provide insights into movement (pots and people) and social interaction.

The identification of Late Archaic maize from the Big Bend portion of the Trans-Pecos region of West Texas places it among the earliest use of cultigens reported throughout the American Southwest. The previous interpretation of maize use was restricted to Formative period sites, but newly acquired AMS dates extend the known duration of use over a millennium. The region, however, lacks clear demographic and settlement patterns diagnostic of this early period of use present in adjacent areas. Lacking key behavioral and settlement similarities, local researchers argued the early use of cultigens was superficial. It now seems the initial maize use in the Trans-Pecos, like the larger US Southwest region, was both early and extensive, and the effects on settlement and subsistence patterns are unknown. This paper situates maize's role and the initial introduction and intensity of use in the Trans-Pecos region in a larger context with known examples.

Perched high above Roosevelt Lake in Tonto Basin, central Arizona, the Upper and Lower Tonto Cliff Dwellings have been commonly excluded from archaeological narratives for the basin. Although one of the few sizeable settlements inhabited in Tonto Basin during the Gila phase (A.D. 1350–1450), the cliff dwellings fell outside the boundaries of several large cultural resource management projects, and are a settlement type atypical for the basin. A disconnect between studies of the Tonto Cliff Dwellings and the rest of the basin therefore exists. Least cost paths (LCPs) are therefore calculated from the Tonto Cliff Dwellings to settlements around Arizona to identify and contextualize possible travel routes between Tonto Basin and beyond. It is argued that reconstructing and refining travel in the ancient Southwest requires the creation of multiple LCPs among multiple start and end points, verification through artifact and feature documentation, and insights from traditional knowledge.

Testimonies of early Spanish chroniclers consistently emphasize the Athapaskan practice of long-distance trade with Pueblo communities aided by hundreds of pack dogs. Despite being the subject of numerous anthropological studies that focus generally on issues of social evolutionary trajectories leading up to European contact, we actually understand very little about how these regional exchange networks operated and the multi-species interactions and gendered labor requirements that made them possible. Using data derived from Spanish accounts, ethnographic information on the management of pack dogs, and modern studies of packing energetics, I model the number of dogs that would be required to sustain interregional trade under different packing conditions. Rather than focusing on the general dynamics of human behavior, this study highlights the details and mechanics of caring for large packs, the historical relationships between Apache women and their dogs, and the role of this partnership in Athapaskan migration and long-distance trade.

Unwrapping a bundle of Basketmaker II textiles from Old Man Cave disclosed two examples of a previously undocumented textile form: bifurcated tumplines. At more than twice the width of standard tumplines, these warp-faced plain weave bands of human hair cordage have one flat end, with the other splitting into two separate parallel bands—one longer and the other shorter. Both narrow bands terminate in tumpline suspension loops. Strains, breaks, and repairs indicate that these textiles served to carry loads. Rather than suspending the weight from the head and resting it on the back, this tumpline suspended weight in front with the textile draped over the shoulder. Knowledge of this new tumpband form allowed identification of an additional example in a museum. Radiocarbon dating confirms the Basketmaker II temporal affiliation. Final use of the Old Man Cave bifurcated tumplines was as a pair and likely related to transporting bodies for burial.

At the time when prehistoric populations were uprooting and relocating themselves across much of the Southwest, an influx of thousands of immigrants possibly arrived onto the elevated and windswept terrain of Perry Mesa in central Arizona. During the Late Classic (A.D. 1280–1400), the expanded populations built large and imposing pueblos equally spaced along the mesa edge and overlooking 1000-foot cliffs. How so many people moved to Perry Mesa in late prehistory is a question we address with survey and ceramic analyses. We assess three migration scenarios: (1) a rapid deployment of a large population en masse for defense; (2) a prolonged migration stream, whereby newcomers steadily arrived to join founder groups, and (3) a scenario that truly was not a migration at all, but rather a local reorganization including the construction of the big pueblos. We also consider how the Perry Mesa case contributes to theory building for migration processes.

Situated at the junction of two canyons, one north–south and one east–west, Tijeras Pueblo (LA 581) is within easy reach of a number of different ecoregions as well as on a boundary between two distinct culture areas, the Pueblo to the west and the Great Plains to the east. This position on the landscape may have created both challenges and opportunities for the residents of Tijeras Pueblo. While the elevation of Tijeras Canyon makes this location a challenging spot for maize agriculture, the large number of nearby environmental zones, as well as the social connectivity afforded by the pueblo’s situation, may have afforded its residents access to an abundance of wild resources. In this paper, we discuss the results from our analysis of the artiodactyl fauna from Tijeras Pueblo, focusing on what these data suggest about socio-environmental connectivity.
蒂杰拉斯普韦布洛(Tijeras Pueblo, LA 581)位于两个峡谷的交汇处，一个是南北的，一个是东西的，很容易到达许多不同的生态区，也位于两个不同文化区域的边界上，西部是普韦布洛，东部是大平原。这一地理位置可能给Tijeras Pueblo的居民带来了挑战和机遇。虽然Tijeras峡谷的海拔高度使这个地方成为玉米农业的一个具有挑战性的地方，但附近大量的环境区域，以及普韦布洛所处的环境所提供的社会联系，可能为其居民提供了丰富的野生资源。在本文中，我们讨论了Tijeras Pueblo偶蹄动物区系的分析结果，重点讨论了这些数据对社会环境连通性的影响。

Classic Mimbres (ca. AD 1010-mid 1100s) archaeology from the eastern Mimbres area is summarized in comparison to the Mimbres Valley. Focus is on material from sites excavated by the Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project, including Avilas Canyon, Flying Fish, and Pague Well, and also the Berrenda Creek site. The eastern Mimbres is definitively part of the Mimbres tradition, although there is variability that patterns spatially. Analyses reveal differences between sites and subregions. Intersite differences include groundstone in walls, adobe collars on hearths, and square partitions in corners of rooms. In comparison to the Mimbres Valley, the eastern Mimbres has less intensive settlement, and less evidence of ritual, though clear continuity between the Classic and subsequent Postclassic. These different characteristics are attributed to different social practices, including land tenure systems which engender social inequality that were present in the Mimbres Valley but not the eastern Mimbres.
