Far Western Basketmaker Beginnings
Iridescent Beetle Adornments Suggest Incipient Status Competition among the Earliest Horticulturalists in Bears Ears National Monument
Anthropological research has long theorized that emergent food-producing economies catalyzed high levels of inequality in human societies, as evident in the earliest use of jewelry made from gold, copper, and other precious minerals among early agricultural populations. Although the US Southwest appears to have been an exception, we report the discovery of two Basketmaker II period necklaces constructed of green iridescent scarab beetle femora, w…
Hunter-Gatherer Archaeology in Northeastern Arizona and Southeastern Utah
In this chapter, the authors present the term "Archaic" to the preagricultural portion of the preceramic period and discuss several new finds pertaining to Paleoindian and Archaic research, as well as new chronometric evidence. Rearchers working in the vast area of southeastern Utah and northeastern Arizona face substantial obstacles in developing behavioral inferences. Problems of sampling, post-depositional disturbance, typology, and chronometr…
Badger Springs
The Badger Springs site (AZ D:5:13; NA10924) is a late Paleoindian occupation located on the Kaibito Plateau in northeastern Arizona, just northwest of Black Mesa. The site was discovered and surface-collected in the 1970s. Quantitative analyses conducted as part of this research revealed that the Badger Springs projectile points are morphologically consistent with projectile points of the Angostura type. Previous archaeological investigations ha…
Quids and Aprons
The success of ancient DNA (aDNA) studies rests on the preservation of DNA through time, and can be limited by the availability of skeletal samples from particular times and locations. To help overcome this limitation, we sought to extract, amplify, and type human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) preserved within 1000- to 2000+-year-old artifacts from the American Southwest. In this study, we successfully typed mtDNA from 21 quids and aprons from Basket…
Archaeological Chronometry
where change is gradual and continuous, moving from relatively simple to more complex. In fact, recent research demonstrates that this was not the case. A new discussion on possible cannibalism among the Anasazi also is treated in descriptive terms. An anthropological perspective, particularly important when discussing such a sensitive topic, is largely missing. Chapter 9 examines the post-archaic of eastern Colorado, beginning with a discussion …
The Agricultural Transition in the Northern Southwest
New evidence continues to fuel discussion on the chronology and process of culture change in the American Southwest. The purpose here is, first, to examine the currently available pan-Southwestern chronometric data on the early agricultural period. A second goal is to provide a general perspective on the structure and nature of the current radiocarbon data base. The perspective presented in this paper is illustrated by partitioning and graphing t…
A Study of Basketmaker II Settlement on Black Mesa, Arizona
Fifteen Years on the Rock
The Black Mesa Archaeological Project has been conducting field investigations and archaeological research in northeastern Arizona since 1967. The work is contracted for by Peabody Coal Company in order to comply with federal, state, and tribal statutes. The longevity of the project, as well as its size and complexity, affords a unique opportunity to evaluate and refine research, project administration, and legal compliance procedures. In most si…
