Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tj Ruin: Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, New Mexico The TJ Ruin overlooks the half-mile-wide valley of the Gila River at the confluence of the West and Middle Forks (figure The site lies at the edge of a 100 foot high bluff of exposed Gila Conglomerate on the north side of the river at an elevation of 5775 feet. Covering the site is a dense stand of saltbush which concentrates on the house mounds and masonry features. Grama grass and other range grasses cover the exposed mesa top while mixed juniper and walnut woodlands encroach on the old polo field which lies just north of the ruin. In the valley below, the river supports denser stands of cottonwood, sycamore, walnut, wild grapes, willow, reeds and other plants of a more mesic community. In sheltered side canyons south of the river, Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir give way, on canyon 510pes, to more xeric communities of pinon, yucca, prickly pear, and oaks.

Download or read book Ancient Architecture of the Southwest written by William N. Morgan and published by Univ of TX + ORM. This book was released on 2014-03-07 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During more than a thousand years before Europeans arrived in 1540, the native peoples of what is now the southwestern United States and northern Mexico developed an architecture of rich diversity and beauty. Vestiges of thousands of these dwellings and villages still remain, in locations ranging from Colorado in the north to Chihuahua in the south and from Nevada in the west to eastern New Mexico—a geographical area of some 300,000 square miles. This study presents a comprehensive architectural survey of the region. Professionally rendered drawings comparatively analyze 132 sites by means of standardized 100-foot grids with uniform orientations. Reconstructed plans with shadows representing vertical heights suggest the original appearances of many structures that are now in ruins or no longer exist, while concise texts place them in context. Organized in five chronological sections that include 132 professionally rendered site drawings, the book examines architectural evolution from humble pit houses to sophisticated, multistory pueblos. The sections explore concurrent Mogollon, Hohokam, and Anasazi developments, as well as those in the Salado, Sinagua, Virgin River, Kayenta, and other areas, and compare their architecture to contemporary developments in parts of eastern North America and Mesoamerica. The book concludes with a discussion of changes in Native American architecture in response to European influences. Written for a general audience, the book holds appeal for all students of native Southwestern cultures, as well as for everyone interested in origins in architecture. In particular, it should encourage younger Native American architects to value their rich cultural heritage and to respond as creatively to the challenges of the future as their ancestors did to those of the past.

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 2002-03-01 with total page 117 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 sites—a large pueblo and a small farmstead—to 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 farmsteads—difficult to identify archaeologically in areas with larger Mimbres concentrations—coexisted 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 Paquimé 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.
