Book excerpt: Using data from approximately 45square miles of land on Black Mesa, Arizona, this book explores culture changes--particularly population increases and decreases--between A.D. 800 and 1150. Analyzing one of the largest archaeological surveys in the American Southwest, these studies go beyond pre­vious efforts to explain culture changes in five ways. First, several hundred sites discovered in the survey are dated through analysis of small characteristics of designs on pottery. Second, patterns of population change are reconstructed more accurately by using dates from these studies. Third, changes in settle­ment types and locations help explain subsistence strategies of prehistoric people. Fourth, design characteristics on pottery and the nature of raw materials used to manufacture ceramic vessels and stone tools provide new information on social networks and exchange ties. Fi­nally, the data are synthesized, providing new explanations of culture change.

Book excerpt: Until now archaeologists have been capable of little more than speculation concerning the extent of human mobility in the pre­historic Southwest. According to George J. Gumerman in his Foreword to this book, however, "Shirley Powell's study has changed that. Using a combination of archaeological and ethnological data she has been able to demonstrate that certain periods on Black Mesa in Northeastern Arizona are charac­terized by great mobility while at other times the Mesa had a more sedentary population. She has taken the question of seasonality in occupation from the realm of speculation to that of testable hypothesis." Powell's major concern throughout this study is with behavior variability. Specifically she addresses the adequacy of "behavioral in­terpretations of material culture patterns for the Black Mesa region of northeastern Ari­zona." She notes that sometimes the descrip­tions from which explanations of variability are based are misleading or incorrect. Exam­ining the relationships "among environment, subsistence, and mobility strategies," she emphasizes the role of seasonability in site locational strategies. Using data derived from ethnographic and ethnoarchaeological sources, she develops a model of subsis­tence/settlement interrelationships, which she tests by using "material culture remains from prehistoric sites."

This book was released on 2016-02 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of writings by participants in the Black Mesa Archaeological Project offers a synthesis of Kayenta-area archaeology, examining the ancestral Puebloan and Navajo occupation of the Four Corners region, and analysing faunal, lithic, ceramic, chronometric, and human osteological data, to construct an account of the prehistory and ethnohistory of northern Arizona that demonstrates how organizational variation and other aspects of culture change are largely a response to a changing natural environment.
