Factors Influencing the Archaic Pattern of Animal Exploitation

Frank E. Bayham · 1 Jan 1979

The origins of the Archaic subsistence pattern in North America are examined by focusing only on the terrestrial faunal procurement system. A model is presented and predictions derived which are then tested on faunal material from Russell Cave (Alabama), Rodgers Shelter (Missouri), and Hogup Cave (Utah). It is argued that the relative abundance of small…

Rethinking the Pueblo I Period in the San Juan Drainage: Aggregation, Migration, and Cultural Diversity

Richard H. Wilshusen, Scott G. Ortman · 1 Jan 1999

ABSTRACTThe Pueblo I period (A.D. 750–900) in the northern Southwest was a dramatic time that witnessed large-scale population movements and the formation of the first large pueblo villages. By A.D. 860, there may have been more than 10,000 people settled in villages north of the San Juan River in southwest Colorado and southeast Utah. The…

Southwestern Pottery Standardization: An Ethnoarchaeological View from the Philippines

William A. Longacre, Kenneth L. Kvamme, Masashi Kobayashi · 1 Dec 1988

Archaeologists assume that products of specialists will be standardized and that standardized pottery reveals the presence of full-time potters. To test these assumptions, two populations of contemporary Philippine cooking pots are studied: those made on a household basis by the Kalinga, a “tribal” society, and those from Paradijon, a neighborhood of full-time potters. The data…

A Reevaluation of the Mogollon-Mimbres Archaeological Sequence

Roger Anyon, Patricia A. Gilman, Steven A. LeBlanc · 1 Jun 1981

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…

CLIMATE CHANGE AND CULTURAL RESPONSE IN THE PREHISTORIC AMERICAN SOUTHWEST

Larry Benson, Michael S. Berry · 1 Sep 2009

Comparison of regional tree-ring cutting-date distributions from the southern Colorado Plateau and the Rio Grande region with tree-ring-based reconstructions of the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and with the timing of archaeological stage transitions indicates that Southwestern Native American cultures were periodically impacted by major climatic oscillations between A.D. 860 and 1600. Sitespecific information indicates…
