Patterns of selection of raw materials used to make stone tools suggest that there was a prehistoric social border on the Pajarito Plateau in north-central New Mexico. Late Coalition period (A.D. 1250–;1325) pueblo sites show geographic preferences in the locations of raw material sources, suggesting the first manifestation of the traditional ethnographic border between the Tewa and the Keresan Pueblo groups. This observation delineates a useful method for identification of prehistoric social boundaries from material remains and provides insight into the timing of social differentiation on the Pajarito Plateau. Social distinctions took on a firm spatial aspect, in the form of a barrier to regional interaction, coincident with region-wide patterns of intense competition over resource-collecting territories. This competition occurred well before segregated aggregation of the Tewa and Keresan groups beginning with the Classic period (A.D. 1325+)
