Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1948 Donald J. Lehmer published his synthesis "The Jornada Branch of the Mogollon Culture", the first such attempt regarding the prehistoric archaeology of south central New Mexico, far west Texas, and the northern part of the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. It was based on a few excavations and limited surveys in the El Paso, Las Cruces, and Alamogordo areas. Yet, he then generalized these few data to the mega-region stretching from the town of Carrizozo, NM on the north to Villa Ahumada, Chihuahua, Mexico on the south and from Deming, NM on the west to Carlsbad, NM on the east, largely on the basis of certain pottery types found throughout. In 1965, key members of the Lea County Archaeological Society situated in Hobbs, NM proposed an Eastern Extension of the Jornada Mogollon to include southeastern New Mexico east of the Pecos River, again on the basis of the same pottery types and the supposition that a few excavated remnants of structures throughout this additionally vast region represent southwestern style pithouses and pueblos.Since 1965, considerably more survey and excavation has been accomplished in Lehmer's and LCASs regions and all areas in between. Most of that work has been in connection with cultural resource management activities required by federal and state laws. It is now possible to update our perceptions and talking points about this quarter of New Mexico and adjacent areas in Texas. The present volume updates our information base (through its original completion in 2016) based on the author's nearly 50 years of direct experience with and rumination about southeastern New Mexico archaeology. It is acknowledged that this is only a beginning and that the coming decades will produce more information by which to bring ever increasing focus on the prehistory (and history) of this culturally and physiographically diverse part of the world. REGGE N. WISEMAN was born and raised in southeastern New Mexico. As an undergraduate he studied anthropology at the University of New Mexico under the mentorship of Florence Hawley Ellis, and as a graduate student at Arizona State University under Alfred E. Dittert, Jr. Wiseman was recruited for work at the Laboratory of Anthropology, Museum of New Mexico in 1971 where he worked on CRM projects until his retirement in 2000. He is especially interested in the Jornada Mogollon, the Jemez Mountains region, the Galisteo Basin, and the Reserve Mogollon of west-central New Mexico. At present he continues to conduct analyses of artifact collections and preparing detailed descriptive reports of CRM projects dating back to the 1950s that had not been completed because of lack of funding.

This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often seen as geographically marginal and of limited research interest to archaeologists, the Jornada Mogollon region of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico deserves broader attention. Late Prehistoric Hunter-Gatherers and Farmers of the Jornada Mogollon presents the major issues being addressed in Jornada research and reveals the complex, dynamic nature of Jornada prehistory. The Jornada branch of the Mogollon culture and its inhabitants played a significant economic, political, and social role at multiple scales. This volume draws together results from recent large-scale CRM work that has amassed among the largest data sets in the Southwest with up-to-date chronological, architectural, faunal, ceramic, obsidian sourcing, and other specialized studies. Chapters by some of the most active researchers in the area address topics that reach beyond the American Southwest, such as mobility, forager adaptations, the transition to farming, responses to environmental challenges, and patterns of social interaction. Late Prehistoric Hunter-Gatherers and Farmers of the Jornada Mogollon is an up-to-date summary of the major developments in the region and their implications for Southwest archaeology in particular and anthropological archaeological research more generally. The publication of this book is supported in part by the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society and the Center for Material Culture Studies at the University of Delaware.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998. Did prehistoric humans walk to North America from Siberia? Who were the inhabitants of the spectacular Anasazi cliff dwellings in the Southwest and why did they disappear? Native Americans used acorns as a major food source, but how did they get rid of the tannic acid which is toxic to humans? How does radiocarbon dating work and how accurate is it? Written for the informed lay person, college-level student, and professional, Archaeology of Prehistoric Native America: An Encyclopedia is an important resource for the study of the earliest North Americans; including facts, theories, descriptions, and speculations on the ancient nomads and hunter-gathers that populated continental North America.
Download or read book The Toyah Phase of Central Texas written by Nancy Adele Kenmotsu and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fourteenth century, a culture arose in and around the Edwards Plateau of Central Texas that represents the last prehistoric peoples before the cultural upheaval introduced by European explorers. This culture has been labeled the Toyah phase, characterized by a distinctive tool kit and a bone-tempered pottery tradition. ?Spanish documents, some translated decades ago, offer glimpses of these mobile people. Archaeological excavations, some quite recent, offer other views of this culture, whose homeland covered much of Central and South Texas. For the first time in a single volume, this book brings together a number of perspectives and interpretations of these hunter-gatherers and how they interacted with each other, the pueblos in southeastern New Mexico, the mobile groups in northern Mexico, and newcomers from the northern plains such as the Apache and Comanche.? Assembling eight studies and interpretive essays to look at social boundaries from the perspective of migration, hunter-farmer interactions, subsistence, and other issues significant to anthropologists and archaeologists, The Toyah Phase of Central Texas: Late Prehistoric Economic and Social Processes demonstrates that these prehistoric societies were never isolated from the world around them. Rather, these societies were keenly aware of changes happening on the plains to their north, among the Caddoan groups east of them, in the Puebloan groups in what is now New Mexico, and among their neighbors to the south in Mexico.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Choice Outstanding Academic Title The Zuni are a Southwestern people whose origins have long intrigued anthropologists. This volume presents fresh approaches to that question from both anthropological and traditional perspectives, exploring the origins of the tribe and the influences that have affected their way of life. Utilizing macro-regional approaches, it brings together many decades of research in the Zuni and Mogollon areas, incorporating archaeological evidence, environmental data, and linguistic analyses to propose new links among early Southwestern peoples. The findings reported here postulate the differentiation of the Zuni language at least 7,000 to 8,000 years ago, following the initial peopling of the hemisphere, and both formulate and test the hypothesis that many Mogollon populations were Zunian speakers. Some of the contributions situate Zuni within the developmental context of Southwestern societies from Paleoindian to Mogollon. Others test the Mogollon-Zuni hypothesis by searching for contrasts between these and neighboring peoples and tracing these contrasts through macro-regional analyses of environments, sites, pottery, basketry, and rock art. Several studies of late prehistoric and protohistoric settlement systems in the Zuni area then express more cautious views on the Mogollon connection and present insights from Zuni traditional history and cultural geography. Two internationally known scholars then critique the essays, and the editors present a new research design for pursuing the question of Zuni origins. By taking stock and synthesizing what is currently known about the origins of the Zuni language and the development of modern Zuni culture, Zuni Origins is the only volume to address this subject with such a breadth of data and interpretations. It will prove invaluable to archaeologists working throughout the North American Southwest as well as to others struggling with issues of ethnicity, migration, incipient agriculture, and linguistic origins.
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 356 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.

This book was released on 2002-05-23 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noel Justice adds another regional guide to his series of important reference works that survey, describe, and categorize the projectile point and cutting tools used in prehistory by Native American peoples. This volume addresses the region of California and the Great Basin. Written for archaeologists and amateur collectors alike, the book describes over 50 types of stone arrowhead and spear points according to period, culture, and region. With the knowledge of someone trained to fashion projectile points with techniques used by the Indians, Justice describes how the points were made, used, and re-sharpened. His detailed drawings illustrate the way the Indians shaped their tools, what styles were peculiar to which regions, and how the various types can best be identified. There are hundreds of drawings, organized by type cluster and other identifying characteristics. The book also includes distribution maps and color plates that will further aid the researcher or collector in identifying specific periods, cultures, and projectile types.
