This book was released on 2016-02 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of writings by participants in the Black Mesa Archaeological Project offers a synthesis of Kayenta-area archaeology, examining the ancestral Puebloan and Navajo occupation of the Four Corners region, and analysing faunal, lithic, ceramic, chronometric, and human osteological data, to construct an account of the prehistory and ethnohistory of northern Arizona that demonstrates how organizational variation and other aspects of culture change are largely a response to a changing natural environment.

Book excerpt: Using data from approximately 45square miles of land on Black Mesa, Arizona, this book explores culture changes--particularly population increases and decreases--between A.D. 800 and 1150. Analyzing one of the largest archaeological surveys in the American Southwest, these studies go beyond previous efforts to explain culture changes in five ways. First, several hundred sites discovered in the survey are dated through analysis of small characteristics of designs on pottery. Second, patterns of population change are reconstructed more accurately by using dates from these studies. Third, changes in settlement types and locations help explain subsistence strategies of prehistoric people. Fourth, design characteristics on pottery and the nature of raw materials used to manufacture ceramic vessels and stone tools provide new information on social networks and exchange ties. Finally, the data are synthesized, providing new explanations of culture change.

Book excerpt: Until now archaeologists have been capable of little more than speculation concerning the extent of human mobility in the prehistoric Southwest. According to George J. Gumerman in his Foreword to this book, however, "Shirley Powell's study has changed that. Using a combination of archaeological and ethnological data she has been able to demonstrate that certain periods on Black Mesa in Northeastern Arizona are characterized by great mobility while at other times the Mesa had a more sedentary population. She has taken the question of seasonality in occupation from the realm of speculation to that of testable hypothesis." Powell's major concern throughout this study is with behavior variability. Specifically she addresses the adequacy of "behavioral interpretations of material culture patterns for the Black Mesa region of northeastern Arizona." She notes that sometimes the descriptions from which explanations of variability are based are misleading or incorrect. Examining the relationships "among environment, subsistence, and mobility strategies," she emphasizes the role of seasonability in site locational strategies. Using data derived from ethnographic and ethnoarchaeological sources, she develops a model of subsistence/settlement interrelationships, which she tests by using "material culture remains from prehistoric sites."

Download or read book Papers on the Archaeology of Black Mesa, Arizona written by George J. Gumerman and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Mesa is a large elevated land mass which comprises a part of the Navajo and Hopi Indian reservations in the northeast corner of Arizona--one of the few large areas in the Southwest which had seldom seen the archaeologist's shovel until the Black Mesa Project. Because of this paucity of excavation, scholars have pointed for years to Black Mesa as the source of many unanswered questions about the prehistory of the surrounding regions. This third volume, Papers on the Archaeology of Black Mesa, Arizona, edited by George J. Gumerman and Robert C. Euler, continues in the series' tradition to unearth solutions to major archaeological problems long buried on Black Mesa: Who were the inhabitants? How did they live? Why did they abandon Northeastern Black Mesa? What is the cultural relationship of the Black Mesa prehistoric people to the Mesa Verde and Chaco branches? Contributing penetrating explanations and theories to these and other questions, in addition to the editors, are: Leonard W. Blake, Robert T. Clemen, Hugh C. Cutler, Charles L. Douglas, Thor N. V. Karlstrom, Steven E. Sessions, Alan C. Swedlund, and Albert E. Ward. Rich in explications and new dimensions to the prehistory of Black Mesa and the surrounding area, this third volume in the Black Mesa series is destined to be an invaluable reference for students and scholars of archaeology and cultural history specializing in the American Southwest.

Download or read book Paleoenvironmental and Cultural Changes in the Black Mesa Region, Northeastern Arizona written by Thor N. V. Karlstrom and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geologic studies of Quaternary deposits in the Black Mesa Region are being coordinated with ongoing archaeological, dendroclimatic, and palynological research of the Black Mesa Archaeological Project directed towards deriving detailed and independent reconstructions of prehistoric cultural history and of paleoclimate. Available C-14, and dendrochronologically dated time-stratigraphy permits reconstruction of hydrologic and climatic changes during the critical last 2,000 years of the cultural record extending from the beginning of Basket Maker II through the Pueblo period to the present. Temporal correspondence of these droughts to the archaeologically and tree-ring dated phase breaks in the Black Mesa culture record supports the thesis that cultural adaptation was largely in response to environmental alterations. Regional data suggest that similar environmental changes were in large part responsible for cultural dynamics throughout the Colorado Plateau, including the significant transmigrations ca. A.D. 1150, and the dramatic decrease in prehistoric populations following A.D. 1300.
