Landscapes of Power and the Language of Authority
Rock art and the transformation of history in the southwestern United States
On the northern frontier of the Spanish colony of New Mexico in the 1600s, people from several cultural origins were pressed by slave raiding and other pressures to come together with a distinctive identity and culture known today as Navajo. They developed a distinctive and sustainable lifeway and cosmology. We argue that apparent shifts from sacred to secular imagery, and from timeless iconic spiritual imagery to biographical-style accounts of m…
Southwestern Archaeology Beyond Archaeology
This article is an argument for and about the benefits of Southwestern archaeology beyond archaeology. Beyond archaeology are the consumers of Southwestern archaeological research: the scientific community, the general public, the legal system, the arts and liberal arts, descendant communities, and policy-makers. We identify some key historical contributions to these consumers and opportunities for continuing our engagement. This history provides…
Alternative Trajectories during the Early Pueblo Period in the Little Colorado Drainage and Beyond
Chaco-Era Site Clustering and the Concept of Communities
Between about A.D. 860 and 1150, settlements in the Four Corners region most commonly consisted of dusters of small houses surrounding Chacoan great houses or great kivas, and archaeologists have come to refer to these settlements as “communities.” This article summarizes the concept of community as used in Chacoan studies and, based on data from 217 Chaco-era (A.D. 860–1150) site dusters, evaluates the current state of knowledge about what have …
Lukachukai and Salina Springs
Sites in the Chinle Valley of northeastern Arizona provide evidence that Basketmaker subsistence and settlement characteristics—including maize horticulture, shallow pit dwellings, and storage pits—were widespread at least by the beginning of the first millennium B.C. At Lukachukai, maize and charcoal produced five radiocarbon dates ranging from 3445 to 3040 B.P. Maize and charcoal from a late Archaic-Basketmaker II component at Salina Springs pr…
