Reconstruct a Basketmaker Atlatl Huitlacoche (pronounced wheat-lah-CO-chay) is a mushroom that only grows on ears of corn. It gives an earthy flavor to soup, tamales, and other traditional Tex-Mex dishes. If Huitlacoche is too much of a mouthful, you can use the new name by which it's sold in cans: Mexican Truffle.

The wild tomatillo, Physalis longifolia Nutt., and related species have been important wild-harvested foods and medicinal plants. This paper reviews their traditional use as food and medicine; it also discusses taxonomic difficulties and provides information on recent medicinal chemistry discoveries within this and related species. Subtle morphological differences recognized by taxonomists to distinguish this species from closely related taxa can be confusing to botanists and ethnobotanists, and many of these differences are not considered to be important by indigenous people. Therefore, the food and medicinal uses reported here include information for P. longifolia, as well as uses for several related taxa found north of Mexico. The importance of wild Physalis species as food is reported by many tribes, and its long history of use is evidenced by frequent discovery in archaeological sites. These plants may have been cultivated, or “tended,” by Pueblo farmers and other tribes. The importance of this plant as medicine is made evident through its historical ethnobotanical use, information in recent literature on Physalis species pharmacology, and our Native Medicinal Plant Research Program’s recent discovery of 14 new natural products, some of which have potent anti-cancer activity.

  • Early Rock Art on the San Juan River by Joe Pachak
    Early Rock Art on the San Juan River By Joe Pachak Along the San Juan River cliffs near Bluff, Utah, there are several very old rock art panels rendered in a style known as "Glen Canyon Style 5" (Turner 1963; Cole 1990:62ff) or "Glen Canyon Linear" (Schaafsma 1980:19). Although this rock art style is poorly dated, most archaeologists and art historians agree that it is the oldest of the common styles in the lower San Juan country, and that it was produced either by the earliest of the Basketmaker Anasazi or their Archaic predecessors (See discussions in Schaafsma 1980 and Cole 1990, but note that the beginning dates for Basketmaker culture have been pushed significantly back in time since these discussions were written). This article discusses the Glen Canyon Linear rock art style and its age, then presents detailed drawings with accompanying discussion of several Glen Canyon Linear Style panels from the Upper Sand Island locality near Bluff (Site 42Sa3589, Cole 1987). Based on superimposition and relative differences in desert varnish patination, Glen Canyon Linear clearly predates the style known as "San Juan anthropomorphic", which is associated with classic Basketmaker culture (Schaafsma 1980:109-119; Cole 1990:109-130). Since the Basketmaker culture is now known to have appeared at least as early as 1000 B.C. (Smiley 1993) and it persisted in some form until around 750 A.D., we can hazard a guess that the Glen Canyon Linear style was produced sometime before about 0 B.C./A.D. Unfortunately, there is no information yet available on which to base even a guess as to the style's beginning date.

  • KIVA INDEX: Volumes 1 Through 83
    1 KIVA INDEX: Volumes 1 through 83 This index combines five previously published Kiva indexes and adds index entries for the most recent completed volumes of Kiva. Nancy Bannister scanned the indexes for volumes 1 through 60 into computer files that were manipulated for this combined index. The first published Kiva index was prepared in 1966 by Elizabeth A.M. Gell and William J. Robinson. It included volumes 1 through 30. The second index includes volumes 31 through 40; it was prepared in 1975 by Wilma Kaemlein and Joyce Reinhart. The third, which covers volumes 41 through 50, was prepared in 1988 by Mike Jacobs and Rosemary Maddock. The fourth index, compiled by Patrick D. Lyons, Linda M. Gregonis, and Helen C. Hayes, was prepared in 1998 and covers volumes 51 through 60. I prepared the index that covers volumes 61 through 70. It was published in 2006 as part of Kiva volume 71, number 4. Brid Williams helped proofread the index for volumes 61 through 70. To keep current with our volume publication and the needs of researchers for on-line information, the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society board decided that it would be desirable to add entries for each new volume as they were finished. I have added entries for volumes 71 through 83 to the combined index. It is the Society's goal to continue to revise this index on a yearly basis. As might be expected, the styles of the previously published indexes varied, as did the types of entries found. I changed some entries to reflect current terminology.
