Aztec, Salmon, and the Puebloan Heartland of the Middle San Juan
Often overshadowed by the Ancestral Pueblo centers at Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde, the Middle San Juan is one of the most dynamic territories in the pre-Hispanic Southwest, interacting with Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde as well the surrounding regions. This ancient Puebloan heartland was instrumental in tying together Chaco and Mesa Verde cultures to create a distinctive blend of old and new, local and nonlocal. The contributors to this book attrib…
Chacoan and Post-Chaco Occupations in the Middle San Juan Region
The Middle San Juan region occupies a critical location between Chaco Canyon to the south and Mesa Verde to the north. Site-settlement analysis and demographic reconstruction reveal continuous occupation across the Pueblo II–III transition and steady population growth for 200 years prior to regional depopulation in the late A.D. 1200s. These findings challenge previous research which postulated two distinct occupations: Chacoan domination during …
Chacoan and Vernacular Architecture at Aztec Ruins
Aztec Ruins is a classic Chacoan outlier. The two major great houses have classic Chacoan architecture and masonry attributes, alongside vernacular architecture that is more typical o f the San Juan area. Most intriguing are attributes that are not easily categorized as either local or nonlocal, suggesting a mixed group of people participating in great-house construction. Our interpretation supports aspects of both Chacoan immigration and local e…
The Formation of Settlement Clusters on Anderson Mesa
Environmental Imperatives Reconsidered
Review of late Holocene paleoenvironmental and cultural sequences from four regions of western North America shows striking correlations between drought and changes in subsistence, population, exchange, health, and interpersonal violence during the Medieval Climatic Anomaly (a.d. 800-1350). While ultimate causality is difficult to identify in the archaeological record, synchrony of the environmental and cultural changes and the negative character…
Ceramic Production in the American Southwest
Embedded and Direct Lithic Resource Procurement Strategies on Anderson Mesa
Puebloan groups have never been noted for an abundance of formal stone tools. The preponderance of expedient implements made from locally available lithic resources highlights the occasional occurrence of formalized artifacts and exotic raw materials. This study explores such a dichotomy by examining the structure and content of lithic assemblages from Chavez Pass and a number of neighboring sites to define contrasting patterns of procurement and…
