Implications of Human Behavioral Ecology for Understandign Complex Human Behavior
Human behavioral ecology recognizes that individual behavior is an important part of human adaptability. Shaped by evolution by natural selection, humans possess cognitive mechanisms that influence learning and decision making and that generally guide our behavior toward adaptive solutions. Behavioral ecologists most often develop models to explain the ways in which humans achieve reproductive success, but the capacity for goal-oriented, rational…

Return to Ánosin Téhuli ? The origins of Puebloan culture
The first world, Ánosin Téhuli , was too dark and small. So the Twin Children of the Sun made some grasses grow taller and more robust, creating a ladder upon which all creatures could climb into the second world, K'ólin Téhuli . Populations in K'ólin Téhuli again grew so rapidly that yet a third world, Áwisho Téhuli , was needed, but once again there were too many people. They therefore divided into different tribes, forming distinctions that be…
The wrong Middle Places? Chaco Canyon and the Mimbres Mogollon
The Hopi speak of Palatkwapi , while the Zuni relate the tale of Hán'hlipínk'ya and the Acoma talk of “White House.” Each describes a place in their ancestors' journeys where people strayed from the proper way of living. At Palatkwapi , things were good – the rains fell, the river was always full, and there was plenty of game to hunt. The older people knew that the Hopi had to continue their journey to the “Middle Place,” where they would meet up…
The Great Abandonment
Hopi oral traditions tell of the travels of those who survived the destruction of the corrupt village of Palatkwapi. People separated into several groups, each heading out in a different direction – some clans traveled alone, while others banded together. Those who went to the south were never seen again. The rest, however, walked for many years, encountering other tribes, some of which were friendly and others which were not. Some Hopi clans dis…
“The Daylight World”
In September 1906, half of the 892 residents of the Hopi Pueblo village of Oraibi moved away as the result of a long-simmering factional dispute (Figure 2.1). Two months later, federal troops forced a large number of the former residents to return, but eventually new villages of Bacavi and Kykotsmovi were established by disenfranchised Oraibi inhabitants. Anthropologists and Hopi alike agree that the “Oraibi split” was one of the more significant…
The ancient Puebloan Southwest
In the late 1800s, as Anglo-American settlers moved into the Four Corners area of the United States where New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado meet, they encountered a large number of ancient ruins, some of which were exceptionally imposing. Racist views about the indigenous inhabitants of the region, combined with a comparatively widespread knowledge of the Aztec empire encountered by the Spanish conquistadors , led many newcomers to assume t…
The migrations continue
According to Hopi oral history, the decadent behavior at Palatkwapi was recognized as a problem by both the kikmongwi, the village chief, and the clan leaders. Kivas no longer were used for ceremonies and introspection, but instead were filled with men and women playing games. Fields were neglected, and pahos were no longer offered to the gods. So the village leaders dressed a young man in a costume to resemble Tsaveyo, the fearsome monster with …
Finding Posi
According to the Tewa people of San Juan Pueblo, their ancestors originally lived below Ohange pokwinge , Sand Lake, together with all creatures. One of the men was asked by Blue Corn (Summer) Mother and White Corn (Winter) Mother to search for a way to leave the lake, and on one of his journeys, he met the tsiwi – predatory animals and carrion-eating birds – who accepted him as the first of the Made People. He became the Hunt Chief and assigned …
The AD 1200s
During the journey of the clans in search of the Middle Place, the ancestral Zuni came upon the Kianakwe people who lived in large towns in the highlands and cliffs. As related in oral traditions, the inhabitants of these places were successful farmers who could command the waters to their fields without the need for rain, and they had many possessions. And so the ancients, the Áshiwi , hungry from long wandering, attacked. But aided by Kúyapalit…
Ancient Puebloan Southwest
Ancient Puebloan Southwest traces the evolution of Puebloan society in the American Southwest from the emergence of the Chaco and Mimbres traditions in the AD 1000s through the early decades of contact with the Spanish in the sixteenth century. The 2004 book focuses on the social and political changes that shaped Puebloan people over the centuries, emphasizing how factors internal to society impacted on cultural evolution, even in the face of the…
Rethinking Chaco as a System
Archaeologists working inside and outside of Chaco Canyon have tended to consider all communities exhibiting Chacoan architecture as participating in some kind of regional system. This article considers exactly what it means to be a “system” and evaluates whether or not the evidence from great house communities and Chaco Canyon meet the criteria of regular interaction, interdependency, and unification. Based on assessments of the Chaco World data…
The Chaco World
Seeking the Center Place
The continuing work of the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center has focused on community life in the northern Southwest during the Great Pueblo period (AD 1150- 1300). Researchers have been able to demonstrate that during the last Puebloan occupation of the area the majority of the population lived in dispersed communities and large villages of the Great Sage Plain, rather than at nearby Mesa Verde. The work at Sand Canyon Pueblo and more than sixty…

Political Competition among the Chaco Anasazi of the American Southwest
Ancient roads, modern mapping
L'auteur demontre que l'etude des anciennes voies de communication permet aux archeologues de recolter des informations sur les societes prehistoriques, puisqu'elles constituaient les liens entre ces societes et les voies de transport et donc d'echange, des biens de diverse nature. Afin d'evaluer les modeles de fonctionnement (religion, economie, integration culturelle) des routes empruntes par les Chaco Anasazi (900-1150 apr. J.-C.) dans la regi…
