Folsom Activity, Mobility, And Flaked Stone Technological Organization At The Rio Rancho Folsom Site, New Mexico Locus 4147 And As-2, William A. Skidmore-Farren

Anthropology Graduate Student Publications

What are the similarities and differences within locus 4147/AS-2 technological organization? Determining the function of the site may reveal new adaptive strategies used by Paleoindian groups and perhaps tell us more about their social and technological organization. By measuring, identifying, analyzing, and comparing the lithic components of the locus 4147/AS-2, I hope to further our understanding of the Rio Rancho site’s function and technological organization. A study of the spatial distribution of various artifact types within the locus will also help determine the function. Chemical (XRF) and physical analysis of the variety of lithic materials from the sites will also …

A Re-Evaluation Of The San Juan Basket Maker Culture And Possible Relationships To Non-Ceramic Group, Charles H. Mcnutt

Anthropology ETDs

In summary, the purpose of this study may be stated as follows: by utilizing intensive and comparative archaeological data and also reasonable inference derived from ethnologic data, it is hoped that there can be presented a more precise and refined picture of the various groups of people whose material-culture remains are considered representative of the Basket Maker culture. It is the further intention of this study to examine critically the postulated development of such groups into later "culture horizons" classified as early Pueblo.

An Anthropological Investigation Of The Correo Snake Pit, Sigfred Sandberg

Anthropology ETDs

During the summer of 1949 the University of New Mexico Field Sessions in Anthropology undertook the excavation of a site located on the Albert Harrington Ranch some thirty miles due west of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Eight under-graduates participated in the work under the supervision of the author, a graduate student in Archaeology. The site was a blown out spring situated near Correo, three and one half miles southwest of the Santa Fe Railway coal and water station in Suwanee. The name "Correo Snake Pit" was assigned to the excavation.

Since this find is probably one of the more important in …

Problems Arising From The Surface Occurrence Of Archaeological Material In Southeastern Chihuahua, Mexico, Garland J. Marrs

Anthropology ETDs

The specific problems which arise in the Chihuahua area, in light of the present developments of American archaeology are:

1. What validity is there in the techniques heretofore used in the chronological placement of archaeological materials gathered from the surface of the earth?

2. What are the implications of the distribution of the different types of specimens recovered from the Bolson de Mapimi terraces?

3. To what archaeological horizons, and to what prehistoric periods, may we assign this material?

4. To what extent do the specimens recovered thus far compare topologically to those already described from like sites and periods? …
