Elites and Human Sacrifices at Paquimé
Various forms of violence have been implicated in the development and cultural trajectory of Paquimé, the center of the Casas Grandes culture in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico. However, these inferences have received little systematic bioarchaeological investigation. This study focuses on the most complex burial discovered at Paquimé, a subfloor tomb containing the remains of at least 12 individuals in two distinct burial layers. Here we evaluate…
Ancient mitochondrial DNA and ancestry of Paquimé inhabitants, Casas Grandes (A.D. 1200–1450)
OBJECTIVES: The Casas Grandes (Paquimé) culture, located in the Northwest of Chihuahua, Mexico reached its apogee during the Medio Period (A.D. 1200-1450). Paquimé was abandoned by the end of the Medio Period (A.D. 1450), and the ancestry of its inhabitants remains unsolved. Some authors suggest that waves of Mesoamerican immigrants, possibly merchants, stimulated Paquimé's development during the Medio Period. Archaeological evidence suggests pos…
Land Use, Looting, and Archaeology in Chihuahua, Mexico
Land Use, Looting, and Archaeology in Chihuahua, Mexico: A Speculative History Jane H. Kelley (bio), David A. Phillips Jr. (bio), A.C. MacWilliams (bio), and Rafael Cruz Antillón (bio) The present state of archaeological resources forms the baseline for thinking about the past. Archaeologists tend to think in terms of what they encounter on or in the ground, or in collections. The way in which archaeological resources reached their current state …
Ground penetrating radar surveys of Viejo Period settlements of the Chihuahua Culture, Upper Santa Maria Valley, Chihuahua, Mexico
Archaeological background The first major project pertaining to the Chihuahua Culture was conducted by Charles Di Peso and colleagues during the late 1950’s and early 1960’s (Di Peso, 1974). Their work was primarily concerned with the site of Paquimé (Casas Grandes), now a World Heritage site and the most renowned Mexican archaeological site north of Mesoamerica proper. Di Peso defined the Viejo, Medio and Tardio periods primarily on the basis of…
The Viejo Period of Chihuahua Culture in Northwestern Mexico
Chihuahua culture" refers to two prehistoric periods of ceramic agricultural occupation in northwestern Mexico. It has long been known that the Medio period (ca. A.D. 1200-1450), with substantial adobe pueblo villages and towns, and ceramics that included elaborate polychrome wares, occurred over a vast region in western and northern Chihuahua and northeastern Sonora. It was also recognized that the preceding Viejo period, with pithouse and wattl…
Archaeology on the Edge
Dedicated to the memory of Richard G. Forbis, this collection of papers presented by his students and colleagues represents more than a tribute to a pioneer and legend in Alberta archaeology. Richard "Dick" Forbis was seminal in putting archaeology in Alberta on the road it has taken and in establishing the field of cultural resource management. Throughout his career, he was passionate about many issues facing modern archaeology and imparted his …

The Positioning of Archaeology within Anthropology
In this paper we argue that archaeologists and anthropologists should be aware of forces that encourage the separation of archaeology from anthropology. Sociological, organizational, and intellectual factors that do not necessarily have disciplinary separation as their logical consequence can nonetheless have a cumulative effect that moves the relationship between the subfields of anthropology in the direction of greater or lesser independence. W…

Relationships Between Graduate Training and Placement in Canadian Archeology
William Curry Holden 1896-1993
In the decades of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, American anthropology welcomed and, in important ways, depended on a coterie of individuals who were not trained as anthropologists. These people made significant contributions to establishing the foundation for the subsequent expansion and specialization that has characterized the field in more recent decades. One such person was William Curry Holden, who was a primary figure He died in Lubbock, Tex…
Prehistoric Macaw Breeding in the North American Southwest
The scarlet macaw (Ara macao) was an important prehistoric trade item in northern Mexico and southwestern United States. Paquimé (or Casas Grandes) in northwestern Chihuahua has been assumed to have dominated or even monopolized the macaw trade. This conclusion is a result of the fact that Paquimé is the only site with evidence of substantial macaw-breeding facilities. Two recent archaeological projects in Chihuahua indicate that macaw production…
Use of Selected Nursing Diagnoses
While use of nursing diagnoses has increased both in the United States and abroad, there have been few reports on the use and applicability of the diagnostic categories across culturally distinct populations. The authors report a preliminary study which compared the use of selected diagnostic categories in an American group and a Mexican group of nurses. Data indicate that nurses did not demonstrate consistency with one another in use of diagnose…
Petrographic analysis and Inaa geochemistry of prehistoric ceramics from Robinson Pueblo, New Mexico
Rock Art and Ceramic Art in the Jornada Mogollon Region
Studies of rock art and painted ceramics largely have been separate domains of scholarship in the American Southwest, except in cases of rather obvious decorative overlap, such as Jornada Style rock art and Mimbres Black-on-white pottery. This paper calls attention to a small but important degree of parallel between Jornada Style rock art and painted ceramic designs in the Jornada Mogollon region. Researchers in the Southwest are urged to give mo…

Law-Talk,” Mobilization Procedures, and Dispute Management in Yaqui Society
Yaqui law is a communication system that provides cognitive consistency across various symbolic domains of Yaqui culture. “Law-talk” reflects the values of Yaqui law and permeates Yaqui social control and dispute management mechanisms. In this paper, Yaqui law is viewed as embodying the ideals of Yaqui behavior and sometimes as a functioning legal system. Many of the same mobilization procedures operate in different areas of dispute management. “…
The Chipped Stone Industry of Cihuatan and Santa Maria, El Salvador, and Sources of Obsidian from Cihuatan
The chipped stone industry of Cihuatan and Santa Maria, Postclassic sites of north-central El Salvador, is discussed briefly in terms of behavioral/technological typology. The industry was based almost exclusively on obsidian and emphasized specialized production of prismatic blades. Source determinations by X-rayfluorescence and neutron activation analysis of 20 obsidian specimens from Cihuatan indicate that at least three highland Guatemalan so…
