Historical Ecology in the Mesa Verde Region
Using the occupation histories of 3,176 habitation sites, new estimates of maize-agriculture productivity, and an analysis of over 1,700 construction timbers, we examine the historical ecology of Pueblo peoples during their seven-century occupation (A.D. 600-1300) of a densely settled portion of the Mesa Verde archaeological region. We identify two cycles of population growth and decline, the earlier and smaller peaking in the late-A.D. 800s, the…
Modeling Historical Ecology, Thinking about Contemporary Systems
One way to make archaeological trajectories compelling to contemporary audiences is through detailed computer simulation with graphical interfaces that allow students or researchers to explore historical sequences and ask "what if" questions of them. We discuss progress on modeling coupled human systems and ecosystems over long periods in the Mesa Verde region of the U.S. Southwest, a project developed with both research and educational products …
Mesa Verde Region Towers
This study tests a hypothesis for the function of Pueblo III period Mesa Verde Region towers: that their construction and use enabled visual monitoring of the use of valuable resources. Geographic Information System (GIS) procedures and aerial photo interpretation are combined to develop and analyze two catchment types: 1) arbitrary 1-km-radius catchments and 2) 1-km-viewshed catchments, each type associated with both an equal sample of prehistor…
