Bruce Huckell and the Folsom Record of the West Mesa, New Mexico
The West Mesa is an expansive Eolian plain atop a basalt-capped terrace of the Rio Grande in central New Mexico. Seminal work carried out in the 1960s–1970s led to the identification of an abundant Paleoindian record across the surface; Bruce Huckell initiated a program of renewed investigation in the region in the late 1990s. He, along with students and volunteers, conducted archaeological surveys and excavations at Rio Rancho, Boca Negra Wash, …
Spatial and Logistical Organization of Hide Production in Paleoindigenous North America
Hide working is an important but often underappreciated step in maintaining body temperature, especially during the Pleistocene. One prevailing assumption is that hides must be processed far from central activity areas because they are too unpleasant to be around or require too much space. Contrary to prevailing wisdom, ethnographic, ethnohistorical, and historical evidence reveals that hide working often occurs in and around central camp areas, …
Rarámuri Rijibara
Rarámuri men of northern Mexico continue to manufacture stone gaming pieces called rijibara for use in a game called cuatro or rijibara. In 1978, eight of these gaming pieces were manufactured by two Rarámuri men during a visit to the Arizona State Museum. The implements and the resulting debitage were analyzed by the first author as a means of identifying variation resulting from individual differences in knapping technique, skill, or motor habi…
Abandonment and Reorganization the Mimbres Region of the American Southwest
Archaeological research on abandonments has focused primarily on their causes, as though they were final events. This article investigates the abandonment at the end of the Mimbres Classic Period as a process of reorganization within a larger social context. Analyses of pottery and architecture demonstrate that previously homogeneous material culture was replaced by a diversity of technological styles. These material changes indicate that the reo…
