Living and Dying on the Periphery: The Archaeology and Human Remains from Two 13th-15th Century AD Villages in Southeastern New Mexico

Autor Jamie L. Clark, John D. Speth
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2022
The phrase "southwestern US/northwestern Mexico archaeology" tends to evoke images of multistoried villages and cliff dwellings. But on the eastern periphery of the Southwest, where mesas and mountains give way to vast grasslands, other types of villages once thrived. In this volume, archaeologists Jamie Clark and John Speth document the lives and lifeways of the people who inhabited two of these villages: Henderson and Bloom Mound. The villagers hunted bison on the plains and exchanged meat and hides with Puebloan peoples for pottery, turquoise, marine shells, and other goods. The origins of these close social and economic ties between bison hunters and village farmers, often referred to as “Plains-Pueblo interaction,” have intrigued anthropologists for generations. The excavations at Henderson and Bloom Mound provide fascinating new insights into when, how, and why these relationships came about.

Summarizing results from eight seasons of research, Clark and Speth document human burials and associated grave offerings from the two sites. They discuss evidence for pathologies and trauma, raising questions about the nature and causes of violence that led to the demise of Henderson and Bloom Mound, and the abandonment of many other farming-hunting communities in the surrounding region.

Recenzii

“This is a severely understudied region that has a fascinating but enigmatic place in the prehistory of the southwestern US/northwestern Mexico. Clark and Speth provide an intriguing synthesis of the current state of knowledge, stitching together more than two decades of excavation to place both sites into local and regional context. The synthesis is thoughtful, original, and provocative.”
— Thomas R. Rocek, professor of anthropology, University of Delaware

Descriere

Sheds light on the archaeology of a little-known region of southeastern New Mexico, whose people hunted bison and traded with Pueblo farmers but later succumbed to intense conflict among competing communities
