Hunter-Gatherer Archaeology in Northeastern Arizona and Southeastern Utah
In this chapter, the authors present the term "Archaic" to the preagricultural portion of the preceramic period and discuss several new finds pertaining to Paleoindian and Archaic research, as well as new chronometric evidence. Rearchers working in the vast area of southeastern Utah and northeastern Arizona face substantial obstacles in developing behavioral inferences. Problems of sampling, post-depositional disturbance, typology, and chronometr…

Obsidian Blades From Cerro Portezuelo
This paper reports source identifications for a sample of obsidian prismatic blades from the site of Cerro Portezuelo, Mexico. Although the sample is highly biased and stratigraphically mixed, some interesting results were obtained. Compared to contemporary sites in the region, the frequency of green Pachuca obsidian was unusually low (65%), while obsidian from the distant Ucareo source was unusually abundant (14%). This pattern appears to hold f…
Production and Exchange of Obsidian Tools in Late Aztec City-States
Obsidian was an important commodity in the Aztec empire. The obsidian industries from several Late Aztec sites in the northeastern Basin of Mexico are briefly summarized. These sites represent both urban centers and their rural dependencies. Site TA-80, the urban center of the Otumba city-state, contained numerous surface concentrations of obsidian debris, representing refuse from workshops where obsidian tools were produced or consumed. Seven of…
Fractographic Evidence for Liquid on Obsidian Tools
The Garnsey Spring Campsite
In 1977 and 1978, Parry and Speth excavated the Garnsey Spring site, an aboriginal campsite southeast of Roswell, New Mexico. Here they describe their fieldwork and the analysis of the artifacts found at the site, including lithics and ceramics. Pollen analysis is also included
Late Prehistoric Bison Procurement in Southeastern New Mexico
The Garnsey site is a late prehistoric-protohistoric bison kill site in southeastern New Mexico. During the 1978 excavation, the crew clarified the stratigraphy and chronology of the site and increased the number of bison remains. In this data-rich monograph, the authors present the results of their fieldwork and analyze their findings. In addition to bison remains, researchers found lithics, ceramics, and fire-cracked rock
