Chaco Canyon, the heartland of the Chaco world, lies 45 miles to the south of this 250-room pueblo, now known as Salmon Ruins. This three-story pueblo had a tower kiva in its central portion and a great kiva in its plaza (see map, page 2). Subsequent occupa­ tion by the local San Juan, or Totah (a Navajo word for "between rivers" first used by Wolky Toll and Pete McKenna to describe the ar­ chaeological region around Farmington, New Mexico), populations resulted in extensive modification of the original building. These San Juan folks used approximately 200 room spaces; created multiple subdivisions of origi­ nal large, Chacoan rooms; and placed more than 10 kivas into formerl y square rooms and plaza areas. The occupation of Salmon Ruins between A.D. 1090 and 1280 is well established by dendrochronology, archaeomagnetic dating, and ceramic cross-dating. The site was placed on the New Mexico State Register and the Na­ tional Register of Historic Places in 1970. Excavations were conducted at Salmon Salmon Ruins is located north of the San Juan River in northwestern New Mexico.

Approximately 30 percent of the site was excavated by field school crews, paid professionals, and local volunteers. In all, more than 700 individuals participated in the fieldwork. Concurrent with the field operations, laboratories were operated on the premises to wash, catalogue, and rough sort artifacts and samples. More than 1.5 million artifacts and samples were recovered from the site. In 1980, Irwin-Williams and co-principal investigator Philip Shelley compiled and edited a five-volume final report for the funding agencies (the National Science Foundation, National Endow- ment for the Humanities, and Four Corners Regional Commission, among others).

GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN/ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Aztec Ruins National Monument San Juan County, New Mexico February 2010 This document is the General Management Plan/Environmental Assessment for Aztec Ruins National Monument. A general management plan (GMP) describes the general approach the National Park Service intends to follow in managing this national monument over the next 15 to 20 years. The general management plan portion of this document identifi es the monument’s purpose, signifi cance, and fundamental resources and values (Chapter 1), followed by three alternative ways to manage cultural and natural resources, visitor experience, and facilities to preserve these important resources and values (Chapter 2). Alternative 1 is the “no-action alternative” that provides a baseline against which to evaluate the other alternatives; it would result in continuation of current management practices into the future. Alternative 2 would expand resource management and visitor opportunities beyond the West Ruin to areas such as East Ruin and North Ruin. Alternative 3 would also expand resource management and visitor opportunities, and further emphasize outreach and partnerships and the intertwined future of both the monument and its surrounding environment in achieving common goals.

A feature of archaeopar- asitology on the Colorado Plateau is the ubiquity of pinworm infection. As a crowd parasite, this ubiquity signals varying concentrations of populations. Our recent analysis of coprolite deposits from 2 sites revealed the highest prevalence of infection ever recorded for the region. For Salmon Ruins, the deposits date from AD 1140 to 1280.

  • The Archaeology of Chaco Canyon
    The Archaeology of Chaco Canyon Chaco Matters An Introduction Stephen H. Lekson Chaco Canyon, in northwestern New Mexico, was a great Pueblo center of the eleventh and twelfth centuries A.D. (figures 1.1 and 1.2; refer to plate 2). Its ruins represent a decisive time and place in the his- tory of “Anasazi,” or Ancestral Pueblo peoples. Events at Chaco trans- formed the Pueblo world, with philosophical and practical implications for Pueblo descendents and for the rest of us. Modern views of Chaco vary: “a beautiful, serene place where everything was provided by the spirit helpers” (S. Ortiz 1994:72), “a dazzling show of wealth and power in a treeless desert” (Fernandez-Armesto 2001:61), “a self-inflicted eco- logical disaster” (Diamond 1992:332). Chaco, today, is a national park. Despite difficult access (20 miles of dirt roads), more than seventy-five thousand people visit every year. Chaco is featured in compendiums of must-see sights, from AAA tour books, to archaeology field guides such as America’s Ancient Treasures (Folsom and Folsom 1993), to the Encyclopedia of Mysterious Places (Ingpen and Wilkinson 1990). In and beyond the Southwest, Chaco’s fame manifests in more substantial, material ways. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, the structure of the Pueblo Indian Cultural COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL 3 Stephen H.
