Isotopic Evidence Supports Existence of Late Holocene Bison Herds in West Central New Mexico
Modern bison (Bison bison) populations have experienced dramatic shifts in the last millennium, resulting from climatic fluctuations, human settlement growth, and overhunting. While bison populations are rebounding in some parts of the Southwest, the original extent of their range in this region is not clear. In west central New Mexico, the presence of bison bones at Prehispanic sites could indicate the presence of local herds, but they could als…
Understanding Turkey Management in the Mimbres Valley of Southwestern New Mexico Using Ancient Mitochondrial DNA and Stable Isotopes
In the US Southwest and Northwest Mexico, people and turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) have had a reciprocal relationship for millennia; turkeys supplied feathers, meat, and other resources, whereas people provided food, shelter, and care. To investigate how turkeys fit within subsistence, economic production, sociopolitical organization, and religious and ritual practice in the Mimbres Valley of southwestern New Mexico, we report on genetic (mtDNA) …

Implications for Migration and Social Connections in South-Central New Mexico Through Chemical Characterization of Carbon-Painted Ceramics and Obsidian
Magdalena Black-on-white ceramics from two sites (Gallinas Springs and Pinnacle Ruin) in west-central and southwestern New Mexico have been interpreted as evidence of a migration of Northern Pueblo groups from the Four Corners region into southwestern New Mexico during the thirteenth century. They also appear to be linked to sites with similar carbon-painted ceramics on the Rio Puerco of the east and beyond. An additional site (Roadmap Village) r…
Migrations in the Southwest
Ceramic assemblages from Pinnacle Ruin (LA 2292) at Cañada Alamosa, southwestern New Mexico, contain significant proportions of Magdalena Black-on-white, which resembles McElmo and Mesa Verde black-on-white pottery. The 150-room site sits atop a defensible butte. Excavations in a midden, a room, and a possible subterranean structure indicate Pinnacle Ruin dates to the late thirteenth through the late fourteenth centuries. Pinnacle Ruin may have b…
