Linking Paleoclimate, Survey, and Farming Data at the Local Scale
To understand human-climate dynamics in the past, archaeologists must reconstruct how social practices and climate conditions interacted at local scales. In this study, a stochastic approach that integrates regional paleoclimate models with survey and experimental farming data is used to refine maize farming estimates at Far View Community, a large, long-lived ancestral Pueblo community in present-day southwestern Colorado. Results from the model…

Dynamic Communities on the Mesa Verde Cuesta
This article systematically and quantitatively characterizes interaction dynamics and community formation based on changes in spatial patterns of contemporaneous households. We develop and apply a geospatial routine to measure changing extents of household interaction and community formation from AD 600 to 1280 on the Mesa Verde cuesta in southwestern Colorado. Results suggest that household spatial organization was shaped simultaneously by the m…

An Archaeological History of the Mesa Verde Region
The Mesa Verde region—extending from southeastern Utah to southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico—is the heartland of the earliest pueblos and an ancestral home for at least three of the four Pueblo language groups. Over the last two millennia, there were three periods in which Ancestral Pueblo population peaked and declined, with the last abandonment of the late thirteenth century the most well known. The combination of excellent mater…
The Social Consequences of Climate Change in the Central Mesa Verde Region
The consequences of climate change vary over space and time. Effective studies of human responses to climatically induced environmental change must therefore sample the environmental diversity experienced by specific societies. We reconstruct population histories from A.D. 600 to 1280 in six environmentally distinct portions of the central Mesa Verde region in southwestern Colorado, relating these to climate-driven changes in agricultural potenti…
Key Issues and Topics in the Archaeology of the American Southwest and Northwestern Mexico
We review some of the most significant research trends as well as emerging issues in the archaeology of the American Southwest and Northwest Mexico. Among the many topics being studied that we could discuss, we have chosen to focus on engaged archaeology, “big data”, the research potential of museum collections, agriculture, social organization, regional connectivity, and culture history
Crossing Comb Ridge
Understanding how the Chaco regional system operated requires examining the social networks maintained by great house communities during both the peak and decline ofChaco's influence. We used neutron activation analysis (NAA) of pottery, kiln wasters, and clays from three great house communities in southeast Utah (Bluff, Cottonwood Wash, and Comb Wash) to examine pottery production and the interaction networks of their residents. West of Comb Rid…
Chacoan and Post-Chaco Occupations in the Middle San Juan Region
The Middle San Juan region occupies a critical location between Chaco Canyon to the south and Mesa Verde to the north. Site-settlement analysis and demographic reconstruction reveal continuous occupation across the Pueblo II–III transition and steady population growth for 200 years prior to regional depopulation in the late A.D. 1200s. These findings challenge previous research which postulated two distinct occupations: Chacoan domination during …
Heartland of the Early Pueblos
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…
Long-Term Settlement History and the Emergence of Towns in the Zuni Area
From a regional perspective, the late thirteenth-century aggregation of village populations into large towns in the northern Southwest appears to be a brief and dramatic episode of social reorganization. That it is apparent across such a range of cultural and ecological circumstances suggests that a regional perspective will be needed to understand why it occurred. However, if we are to understand how it occurred-the social processes involved in …
Pattern and Variation in Northern San Juan Village Histories
Crow Canyon's early excavations in the Sand Canyon locality suggested that late Pueblo III canyon-rim villages formed rapidly and according to a consistent pattern. The Village Testing Project was designed to test this and other settlement pattern models through surface mapping and test excavations at large, late sites in the central Mesa Verde area of the Northern San Juan region. Based on new data from Woods Canyon Pueblo, Yellow Jacket Pueblo,…
An Initial Assessment of the Production and Movement of Thirteenth Century Ceramic Vessels in the Mesa Verde Region
Neutron activation analysis was employed on ceramics and clays (N=234) from the Mesa Verde region of southwestern Colorado. Quantitative analysis of the resulting data indicates that Mesa Verde variety Black-on-white bowls were locally produced at Sand Canyon and Castle Rock pueblos and up on Mesa Verde. Corrugated jars from Long House and Mug House were produced using different raw materials than the Black-on-white bowls. The results also indica…
