Margaret Lyneis and the Pottery Traditions of Corn Creek and Ash Meadows, Southern Nevada
Margaret Lyneis examined pottery recovered from two of southern Nevada’s desert oases, the Desert National Wildlife Refuge and the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. People occupied these rich havens of springs and lush vegetation fairly continuously from the Early Archaic period, with farming practiced during the Formative and Post-Formative periods. Lyneis’ investigations demonstrated for the first time that pottery was made in these locatio…
A Symmetry Analysis of Design Structure
This paper postulates that cultural entities with long term structural integrity are characterized by symmetrical relationships between and among the constituent sectors of society. We demonstrate how such social relationships are embedded in the symmetrical arrangements of motifs in geometric design. We test this premise with an analysis of 1000 years of ceramic design from the northern American Southwest, AD 600-1600, with a description of the …
Beyond Tree Rings
Archaeologists are often faced with the problem of integrating chronological evidence produced by different dating techniques. This issue of integration has received much less attention in the archaeological literature than have the workings of individual dating techniques. Procedures for combining different kinds of dates do exist. These procedures are discussed and illustrated by example, with special reference to situations involving the integ…
Archaeological Chronometry
where change is gradual and continuous, moving from relatively simple to more complex. In fact, recent research demonstrates that this was not the case. A new discussion on possible cannibalism among the Anasazi also is treated in descriptive terms. An anthropological perspective, particularly important when discussing such a sensitive topic, is largely missing. Chapter 9 examines the post-archaic of eastern Colorado, beginning with a discussion …
Sources of Variation in the Southwestern Tree-Ring Record
Recent analyses of regional tree-ring data sets highlight the importance of assessing the representativeness of the tree-ring record. A number of these studies have used temporal variation in numbers of tree-ring dates, and sites with tree-ring dates, as a proxy record of population change. Sources of variation in tree-ring date distributions are explored through an analysis of three cases, Black Mesa, Mesa Verde, and Cedar Mesa. The analysis emp…
Malaria, Microbes, and Mechanisms of Change
The archaeological record in southern Arizona indicates that there were dramatic cultural changes around the period of European arrival in the New World. Although these changes are generally thought to have taken place before A.D. 1492, this paper examines the possibility that the two occurrences are linked. The idea that European diseases contributed to the culture change is explored, and an in-depth look at one disease—malaria—is used to illust…
Environmental and Chronological Factors in the Mesa Verde-Northern Rio Grande Migration
Evaluating Tree-Ring Interpretations at Walpi Pueblo, Arizona
The availability both of documentary data on the history of the Hopi pueblo of Walpi and of tree-ring dates from the village provides a rare opportunity to evaluate tree-ring interpretations in the light of independent chronological evidence. Three major events in the history of the community are reflected in the village's overall tree-ring date distribution: the initial settlement around A.D. 1400 of the site of Koechaptevela, located on the fla…
Tree-Ring Dating of Pindi Pueblo, New Mexico
Pindi, a Puebloan site in the Northern Rio Grande area of New Mexico, was excavated in the 1930s, though a report on this work did not appear until the 1950s. In this paper, revised tree-ring dates for the site that were published in the 1970s are integrated with the original 1953 report to produce an improved chronology for Pindi. Three major periods of occupation at the site have been identified: a Pre-Pindi period (a.d. 1210S), a First Ceramic…
