The Production and Distribution of Mimbres Pottery

An Early Military Macaw from Cueva de Avendaños, Chihuahua
During a 2016 archaeological salvage project in the municipality of San Francisco de Borja, Chihuahua, the mummified head of an adult military macaw (Ara militaris) was recorded from a rock shelter. Because of their aesthetic beauty and colorful plumage, macaws occupied an important place within the collective imagination of the pre-Hispanic communities. Macaws and macaw feathers also were important ritual and social symbols, often used in Pueblo…
Of Change and Tradition
The chapters in this volume represent the results of a multi-year, multi-researcher project to create a regional synthesis of prehistoric mortuary practices across the Southwest United States and Northwest Mexico.Inspired by Adler's (1996) and Adam and Duff 's (2004) volumes that assembled, systematized, and reported data on sites and settlements in the region, we (the editors and authors of the volume) assembled and systematically aggregated mor…
Long-Term, Constant, and Stable Identities and Social Relationships with and within the Mimbres Region of Southwestern New Mexico
Re-evaluating the Mimbres Region Prehispanic Chronometric Record
Many decades of archaeological research in the Mimbres region have resulted in hundreds of chronometric dates obtained from contexts dating prior to A.D. 1450, but until now these data have not been compiled into a single database. Using dendrochronological, radiocarbon, and archaeomagnetic dates, we analyze each of the chronometric data sets to identify patterns and biases that help us better understand the tempo and duration of fundamental tran…
Ritual Change and the Distant
The Mimbres Classic period (A .D. 1000-1130) in southwestern New Mexico was marked by dramatic and complex changes. The use of Great Kivas ended, and macaws and Mesoamerican-inspired iconography appeared. We argue that these events were systematically related and signify observable changes in Mimbres ritual economy. The presence of macaws, images of macaws, and representations of characters and motifs from the Hero Twins saga suggest that ideolog…
The Role of Ritual Variability in Social Negotiations of Early Communities
Religion and religious buildings play critical roles in the social negotiations that surround early village formation. Although religion and the buildings or spaces that house concomitant ceremonies may certainly serve to bring people together under a unified creed, ritual activities also provide settings that people can manipulate to their own ends. Great Kivas appear to have been a major locus of supra-family rituals in the Mogollon area from A…
Between Mimbres and Hohokam
The complexities of peoples’ interactions with one another can be masked by terms such as hinterlands and heartlands. Although archaeologists might easily think of the San Simon Basin in southeastern Arizona as a hinterland, the concept does not do justice to the area during prehistory, especially in the Late Archaic (1500 B.C. to A.D. 100) and Pit Structure (A.D. 100–1050) periods. People there may have played a critical role, especially during …

Mogollon Village Revisited
In 1933 Emil Haury conducted excavations at Mogollon Village that began to establish the Mogollon as a distinct region and to develop the current phase sequence. Haury's tree-ring cutting dates document occupation at the site for roughly 160 years (a.d. 736 to 898). Recent chronometric dates from Mogollon Village, including archaeomagnetic, radiocarbon, and obsidian hydration, identify occupations prior to a.d. 700 and document structures that sp…

Multiple Dimensions of the Archaic-to-Pit Structure Period Transition in Southeastern Arizona
Many archaeologists have noted a major discontinuity throughout the Southwest between the Late Archaic (1500 to 1 B.C.) and the Pit Structure (A.D. 1 to 1050) periods, perhaps largely because of the addition of ceramics to the artifact assemblage. The discontinuity has been interpreted as the time when agriculture changed from casual to intensive, wild foods became much less important in the diet, and people practiced residential sedentism for mu…
The Production and Distribution of Classic Mimbres Black-on-White Pottery
Because the most abundant and finest quality Classic Mimbres Black-on-white ceramics are associated with large pueblos located in the Mimbres Valley, archaeologists have subscribed to a center-periphery model of exchange to explain the occurrence of these ceramics outside of the 'heartland.' Recent instrumental neutron-activation analysis based on 117 samples from six sites and supported by petrographic analyses demonstrates that separable produc…
Social Organization and Classic Mimbres Period Burials in the SW United States
Burial and associated artifact data from the Mimbres Valley in SW New Mexico are examined in order to clarify social organization among the prehistoric Mimbres. Both intrasite and intersite data are used for the analysis. The intrasite data are from Nesbitt's 1930s excavations at the Mattocks site and more recent excavations by the Mimbres Foundation at the same site. The intersite data are from sites in and near the Mimbres Valley. The results s…

A Response to Wilshusen
Wilshusen has critiqued my recent research on pit structures and pueblos in the prehistoric Southwest and has suggested that the use of pit and surface structures is interrelated in that pit structures in southwestern Colorado become deeper at the same time surface structures become more common. This idea is examined further in my response, in the context of a broad and general argument, while Wilshusen examines pit-structure depth, one particula…

Prehistoric Adaptation in the American Southwest
Architecture as Artifact
The use of architecture as an artifact gives archaeologists a data set that we have rarely employed to examine cultural evolutionary questions. In this paper I consider the determinants of some architectural forms and propose some causes of architectural change, specifically in the American Southwest. Using ethnographic material from around the world, I demonstrate the relationship between structure seasonality and two of the most common southwes…
A Reevaluation of the Mogollon-Mimbres Archaeological Sequence
A new series of radiocarbon and tree-ring dates from the Mimbres area of the Mogollon region has modified the accepted chronology in the area. Recent work in the Mogollon-Mimbres area has firmly established the existence of a plain ware pit house period dated about a.d. 200–550. The dates of phases between a.d. 550–1000 have been modified, and the termination of the Classic period is dated at a.d. 1150. The Mangas phase is dropped, and it is show…
