The Tijeras Pueblo Jewelry Project
Beads and other personal ornaments were recovered during excavations at Tijeras Pueblo (LA 581). In 2008, a volunteer project was begun (1) to identify potential jewelry artifacts from the site, and their contexts; (2) to develop criteria for classifying artifacts as jewelry; and (3) to make these data accessible to future researchers. Comparisons with other sites show that Pueblo IV jewelry consists mostly of beads and pendants, with a few unusu…
Rescuing Collections from Us
Most of the archaeological collection from Tijeras Pueblo (LA 581) was curated at the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, University of New Mexico. As was typical of archaeological repositories in the mid- to late twentieth century, the collection was stored in a warehouse, using non-archival materials, with minimal curation records. Beginning in 2004, a massive volunteer effort led to the complete reorganization of the Tijeras Pueblo collection. Thi…
Village Growth, Emerging Infectious Disease, and the End of the Neolithic Demographic Transition in the Southwest United States and Northwest Mexico
In the final centuries prior to the arrival of the Spanish, the southwest United States and northwest Mexico underwent two major sociodemographic changes: (1) many people coalesced into large villages, and (2) most of the villages were depopulated within two centuries. Basic epidemiological models indicate that village coalescence could have triggered epidemic diseases that caused the observed demographic decline. The models also link this declin…
Who gets published
Editors often take part in group discussions at international conferences, when they present their journals and field questions from (largely younger) researchers eager to see their work in print
Ceremonial Rooms” at Pottery Mound, New Mexico
Excavations at Pottery Mound, a Pueblo IV site on the Rio Puerco south of Albuquerque, New Mexico, exposed three types of rooms: kivas, domestic rooms for both habitation and storage, and “ceremonial rooms.” One of the last was sealed and contained ceremonial artifacts. Others were rooms whose internal features (and possibly also artifacts) differed from those of kivas and domestic rooms. The presence of “ceremonial rooms” at Pottery Mound may ha…
Source-Sink Dynamics and Their Applicability to Neolithic Period Persistence in Marginal Areas
Source-sink dynamics, developed in bioecology, may help archaeologists understand the persistence of Formative period populations in seemingly marginal areas. In the illustrations provided, the flow of people or maize from a donor area to a recipient area can aid human persistence in both areas, in contrast to the case where no resource flow occurs. Although this essay focuses on the US Southwest and Chaco Canyon, source-sink dynamics are potenti…
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 …
Adoption and Intensification of Agriculture in the North American Southwest
Qualitative models are unable to explain the known variability in the adoption and intensification of agriculture in the prehistoric North American Southwest. Adoption of a quantitative approach (specifically, a model based on marginal costs and benefits) better accounts for that variability
Comment on Harry's Discussion of Ceramic Specialization and Agricultural Marginality in the Prehistoric U.S. Southwest
Karen Harry's study indicates that agricultural marginality is an unlikely explanation for ceramic specialization in the prehistoric U.S. Southwest. Economic theory provides an alternative model for the exchange of pottery for food.

Borrowed Concepts
Although Davy has defended the ecotone concept, it remains open to question on ecological grounds. A number of weaknesses in Davy's arguments are discussed. Davy's comments are themselves an illustration of the greater problem—the abuse of concepts borrowed from ecology
Archaeology beyond Anthropology
Archaeology's relationship to anthropology in the United States has been one of a natural and beneficial alliance. Archaeologists are currently showing more of an interest in formal models drawn from outside anthropology, but the classification of American archaeology as a subdiscipline in anthropology generally remains unquestioned. We argue that at the present time archaeological research is being hindered by its institutionalized relationship …
