Archaeological Corn from Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico
We report measurements made on eight corncobs (Zea mays) excavated in the 1890s from Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. Seven of these corncobs were analyzed previously in a geochemical study aimed at determining the locations of the fields in which they were grown. We report radiocarbon dates obtained on these seven corncobs. Comparing the morphologies of the eight corncobs with other archaeological samples of corn from the San Juan Basin …
Mesa Verde Settlement History and Relocation
At the beginning of the thirteenth century A.D., the Mesa Verde region was densely inhabited by Ancestral Pueblo peoples. By the end of that century, Ancestral Pueblo peoples no longer permanently inhabited the region. We present detailed reconstructions of precipitation based on tree rings from five geographic subregions of Ancestral Pueblo occupation (Mesa Verde, Tsegi/Kayenta, Chama, Cibola, and Santa Fe) and a consideration of distributions o…

Ancient maize from Chacoan great houses
In this article, we compare chemical ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr and elemental) analyses of archaeological maize from dated contexts within Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, to potential agricultural sites on the periphery of the San Juan Basin. The oldest maize analyzed from Pueblo Bonito probably was grown in an area located 80 km to the west at the base of the Chuska Mountains. The youngest maize came from the San Juan or Animas river floodplains 90…

Dynamics of Southwest Prehistory
Emerging from a School of American Research, this work reviews the general status of archaeological knowledge in 9 key regions of the Southwest to examine broader questions of cultural development, which affected the Southwest as a whole, and to consider an overall conceptual model of the prehistoric Southwest after the advent of sedentism
Early Prehistoric Agriculture in the American Southwest . W. H. Wills
Toward Useful Clarification
Paine's comments do not clarify problems with the data from Grasshopper. We maintain that the age/sex pyramid for the Grasshopper series remains problematical
Escaping the Confines of Normative Thought
Our recent efforts in preparing syntheses of Puebloan prehistory suggest that most of the standard, normative generalizations are empirically false and that the conceptual framework traditionally employed to organize the archaeological data is inadequate and inappropriate. We show that the patterned variability manifest in the archaeological record is obscured by normative treatment. An approach to southwestern prehistory that is at once more fai…

Obscuring Cultural Patterns in the Archaeological Record
Failure to distinguish clearly between human behavior and cultural behavior, as well as inattention to procedures for evaluating inferences about the past, undermine some recent efforts in archaeological interpretation. Examples from the archaeological literature of the American Southwest show how analytical confusion may arise when research strategies obscure cultural variability. We are especially concerned about instances in which archaeologis…
Predicting Site Abandonment at Wetherill Mesa
The abandonment of sites throughout 800 years of prehistoric occupation of Wetherill Mesa, Colorado is predicted by relating the length of time sites were inhabited to the availability of arable land under conditions of minor climatic fluctuations. The prehistoric climate is derived from dendroclimatological studies. The predictions of site abandonment are obtained through the use of a computer simulation. Results indicate that many abandonments …

The Versatility of Kinship
Late Anasazi Farming and Hunting Strategies
Data derived from site survey and excavation in central New Mexico indicate that there is a lack of congruence, or agreement, between material recovered through excavation and expectations derived from environmental, ethnographic and site location information. It is argued that the lack of congruence should not be dismissed but may provide useful insights into past subsistence technology
Dialogue with the Past
Obituaries
Culture and Cultural Behavior
The comments by Reid and others demonstrate a continued failure to distinguish problems of a general theoretical nature from those concerns relating to specific interpretations of southwestern prehistory. We separate these issues here. We also suggest that confusion arises because there are important philosophical differences between our approaches

Neural-tube defects in a prehistoric south-western Indian population
Concern with the frequency and patterning of the occurrence of midline neural-tube defects among contemporary human populations is widespread. These defects are, however, quite old and occur in unusually high numbers of prehistoric skeletons. A common explanation offered for such high incidence has been inbreeding among small, reproductively isolated populations. In a sample of 54 skeletons from the prehistoric south-western Indian site of Tijera…
