Traces the history of this fabulous land of New Mexico and Arizona from the days of the dinosaurs to the present-day dam building and land reclamation through irrigation. Every phase of development is taken up in detail."--Library Journal. "Mr. Corle, who knows a great deal about the Southwest, has been handed a writer's dream of an assignment and has carried it out in fine style."--The New Yorker. "The Gila is a remarkable bit of Americana, written by a man who knows every inch of the country."--Chicago Sunday Tribune. "Mr. Corle has shown before that he knows how to swing a book of this kind--a combination of history, geography, anecdote, and atmosphere.

Mr. Corle's done a real job on it."--Joseph Henry Jackson, San Francisco Chronicle.

Download or read book Gila written by Gregory McNamee and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2012-10-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For sixty million years, the Gila River, longer than the Hudson and the Delaware combined, has shaped the ecology of the Southwest from its source in New Mexico to its confluence with the Colorado River in Arizona. Today, for at least half its length, the Gila is dead, like so many of the West’s great rivers, owing to overgrazing, damming, and other practices. This richly documented cautionary tale narrates the Gila’s natural and human history. Now updated, McNamee’s study traces recent efforts to resuscitate portions of this important riparian corridor.

Download or read book Salado Archaeology of the Upper Gila New Mexico written by Stephen H. Lekson and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2002-03 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salado is an enigma of the past. One of the most spectacular cultures of the ancient Southwest, its brilliant polychrome pottery has been subjected to varied interpretations, from religious cult to artistic horizon. Stephen Lekson now uses data from two Salado sitesÑa large pueblo and a small farmsteadÑto clarify long-standing misconceptions about this culture. By combining analysis of the large whole-vessel collection at Dutch Ruin with the scientific excavation of Villareal II, a picture of Salado emerges that enables Lekson to evaluate previous competing theories and propose that Salado represents a major fourteenth-century migration of Pueblo peoples into the Chihuahuan deserts. Lekson demonstrates that late, short-lived Salado farmsteadsÑdifficult to identify archaeologically in areas with larger Mimbres concentrationsÑcoexisted with larger Salado towns, and he argues that Salado in the Upper Gila region appears as a substantial in-migration of Mogollon Uplands populations into what was a vacant river valley. Throughout the fourteenth century, Salado communities in the Upper Gila were integrated into the larger Salado horizon and were closely connected to Casas Grandes, as indicated by the export of serpentine to the city of PaquimŽ and the occurrence of Casas Grandes pottery at Upper Gila Salado sites. The book includes illustrations of 71 vessels from Dutch Ruin plus a full-color frontispiece. Through analysis of these two sites, Lekson has taken a large step toward clearing up the mystery of Salado. His work will be welcomed by all who study the movements of peoples in the prehispanic Southwest.

Fio. 107.--Design From A Bowl From Blue. Figure 107. This design in solid black represents two birds in terrace form, the zigzag line representing the running element of the design. The broad area of the terrace contains modifications of the bird symbol. (From the interior of a bowl, Blue, Arizona, Cat. No. HBBBHHHBaBaHraB 245503, U.S.N.M.) Figure 108. This design, which is a section of that covering a whole vase, apparently is intended to show a succession of zigzags formed by alternate opposed series in solid black and gradine. (Spur Ranch, Luna, New Mexico, Cat. No. 231987, U.S.N.M.) Figure 109. A similar design is found on the rim of a vase (fig. 104), and in it the zigzag line is manifestly important. The triangular spaces show the simplest form of the bird symbol. (Spur Ranch, Luna, New Mexico, Cat. No. 232001, U.S.N.M.) Figure 110. Another design shows a pair of zigzag lines treated very much as the white line decorations on the red bowls from the Blue River. This is from the rim of a vase found at Fort Bayard, New Mexico, by Mrs. W. O. Owen, Cat. No. 178826, U.S.N.M. Figure 111. This is a design simplified for application to the handle of a dipper. It apparently represents a succession of opposing black and gradine bird symbols whose opposition forms a zigzag. The denticulation on the margin of the triangles is apparently a feather convention. (Tularosa River, New Mexico. Collected by H. Hales, Cat. No. 155158, U.S.N.M.) Figure 112, design from the handle of the dipper previously mentioned. So far as is known the design is unique and it is difficult to assign its meaning. It is evidently a clipped or abbreviated design suited to the narrow space it must occupy, and appears to be the bird-rain triangular symbol arranged...

This book was released on 1990 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of the Saige-McFarland Site for Mimbres archaeology became obvious in late 1985, when I was preparing a proposal through the Arizona State Museum for archaeological contract work in the Upper Gila area. The major goals of the project at that time were (1) the preparation of the collections for museum curation (they are now in a permanent repository at the Museum of New Mexico in Santa Fe), and (2) the preparation of a descriptive report of the site to assist future analyses of the collections.
Download or read book Life beyond the Boundaries written by Karen Harry and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life beyond the Boundaries explores identity formation on the edges of the ancient Southwest. Focusing on some of the more poorly understood regions, including the Jornada Mogollon, the Gallina, and the Pimería Alta, the authors use methods drawn from material culture science, anthropology, and history to investigate themes related to the construction of social identity along the perimeters of the American Southwest. Through an archaeological lens, the volume examines the social experiences of people who lived in edge regions. Through mobility and the development of extensive social networks, people living in these areas were introduced to the ideas and practices of other cultural groups. As their spatial distances from core areas increased, the degree to which they participated in the economic, social, political, and ritual practices of ancestral core areas increasingly varied. As a result, the social identities of people living in edge zones were often—though not always—fluid and situational. Drawing on an increase of available information and bringing new attention to understudied areas, the book will be of interest to scholars of Southwestern archaeology and other researchers interested in the archaeology of low-populated and decentralized regions and identity formation. Life beyond the Boundaries considers the various roles that edge regions played in local and regional trajectories of the prehistoric and protohistoric Southwest and how place influenced the development of social identity.
