Book excerpt: These essays summarize the results of new excavation and survey research at Bandelier National Monument, with special attention to determining why larger sites appear when and where they do, and how life in these later villages and towns differed from life in the earlier small hamlets that first dotted the Pajarito in the mid-1100s.

Book excerpt: Few visitors to the stunning Frijoles Canyon at Bandelier National Monument realize that its depths embrace but a small part of the archaeological richness of the vast Pajarito Plateau west of Santa Fe, New Mexico. In this beautifully illustrated book, archaeologists, historians, ecologists, and Pueblo contributors tell a deep and sweeping story of the region. Beginning with its first Paleo-Indian residents, through its Ancestral Pueblo florescence in the 14th and 15th centuries, to its role in the birth of American archaeology and the nuclear age, and concluding with its enduring centrality in the lives of Keresan and Tewa Indian peoples today, the plateau remains a place where the mysterious interplay of human culture and magnificent landscapes is written in its mesas and canyons. A must read for anyone interested in Southwestern archaeology and Native peoples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seated between the modern Rio Grande Pueblos and ancient Chaco Canyon, both physically and temporally, the Tsankawi ruins of Bandelier National Monument on the Pajarito Plateau in Northern New Mexico are an often overlooked piece on the giant puzzle of Southwest Archeology. Once featuring a stone masonry pueblo with hundreds of rooms that stood up to 3 stories high and over 350 cliff-side talus pueblos, Tsankawi Mesa was home to a thriving community of Ancestral Puebloan people for hundreds of years. In the shadow of both the larger main section of Bandelier and the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Tsankawi has historically been overlooked, relegated to footnotes, or mentioned only in passing. The Forgotten Side of Bandelier consolidates the archeology and anthropology of Tsankawi that was once scattered through many disparate sources and puts it in a larger context from the Ice Age though the modern day. An inheritor of the Chaco culture and a progenitor of Pueblo people still living near Santa Fe, Tsankawi is a fascinating piece of the prehistoric Southwest. Includes over 40 images.
Download or read book Pueblo Peoples on the Pajarito Plateau written by David E. Stuart and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2011-02-16 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lively overview of the archaeology of northern New Mexico's Pajarito Plateau argues that Bandelier National Monument and the Pajarito Plateau became the Southwest's most densely populated and important upland ecological preserve when the great regional society centered on Chaco Canyon collapsed in the twelfth century. Some of Chaco's survivors moved southeast to the then thinly populated Pajarito Plateau, where they were able to survive by fundamentally refashioning their society. David E. Stuart, an anthropologist/archaeologist known for his stimulating overviews of prehistoric settlement and subsistence data, argues here that this re-creation of ancestral Puebloan society required a fundamental rebalancing of the Chacoan model. Where Chaco was based on growth, grandeur, and stratification, the socioeconomic structure of Bandelier was characterized by efficiency, moderation, and practicality. Although Stuart's focus is on the archaeology of Bandelier and the surrounding area, his attention to events that predate those sites by several centuries and at substantial distances from the modern monument is instructive. Beginning with Paleo-Indian hunter-gatherers and ending with the large villages and great craftsmen of the mid-sixteenth century, Stuart presents Bandelier as a society that, in crisis, relearned from its pre-Chacoan predecessors how to survive through creative efficiencies. Illustrated with previously unpublished maps supported by the most recent survey data, this book is indispensable for anyone interested in southwestern archaeology.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Analysis of Variability and Condition of Cavate Structures in Bandelier National Monument In 1916 Bandelier National Monument was established by proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson to protect and preserve for public enjoyment and education the large Pueblo settlements and spectacular cave dwellings of the southern Pajarito Plateau. At the time, the monument and its archaeological resources enjoyed considerable national prominence both in the public eye and within the discipline of archaeology, largely as a result of the pioneering explorations of Adolph Bandelier and the later excavations and preservation efforts of Edgar L. Hewett. Since then the monument has ceded much of its prominence in southwestern prehistory, as the focus of archaeological research has shifted to other regions. Although sporadic investigations have occurred over the last 75 years, the extent to which Bandelier has been forgotten is exemplified by the modest number of documented sites. In 1985 fewer than 500 were known in the 51 square miles of the monument. Knowledge of even these was poor at best. The present volume by H. Wolcott Toll represents the third of several National Park Service and Washington State University contributions that report the findings of the Bandelier Archeological Survey. Through these publications we hope to reestablish publicly and professionally the monument's important place in late Pueblo prehistory. The ten-year Bandelier Survey was begun in 1985 with the goal of recovering both research and cultural resource management data, so that the Park Service may better understand and interpret the monument's archaeology, and also better preserve it.

Book excerpt: Over twenty-five years ago, David Stuart began writing award-winning newspaper articles on regional archaeology that appealed to general readers. These columns shared interesting, and usually little-known, facts and stories about the ancient people and places of the Southwest. By 1985, Stuart had penned enough columns to fill a book, Glimpses of the Ancient Southwest, which has been unavailable for years. Now he has rewritten most of his original articles to include recently discovered information about Chaco Canyon, Bandelier, and Mesa Verde. Stuart's unusual perspective focuses on both the past and the present: "Want to know why gasoline now costs $4.00 a gallon, and is headed higher, yet we have no instant solution? Chacoan, Roman, even Egyptian archaeology all provide elemental answers." The Ancient Southwest shares those with us.
