Mogollon Slides.Pptx 1 The Mogollon Culture evolved in the southwestern corner of New Mexico and extended along the Mogollon Rim into east‐central and southeast Arizona and southward into the Chihuahua region of northern Mexico. This map is decepve in that it makes it look like the Mogollon occupied an enre territory uniformly; however, they really stuck to the upland areas and le large lowland areas alone. 2 Unlike the Hohokam or the Ancestral Puebloans, the Mogollon were only Part‐me farmers. They also moved around more, so their villages were only semi‐permanent. 3 This is the textbook definion of the Mogollon period. It is based on the appearance of parcular type of poery and the construcon of D‐shaped pithouses. Can you see how limited this is? It would be like defining American culture from the 1980s to the 2000s as the “Compact Disk” period. This hides the large variability that occurs during this me. I, for example, sported quite the wavy hair in the 1980s. Today – not so much. 4 Pithouses among the Mogollon were very similar to those built by the Hohokam and Ancestral Puebloans, except they tended to be D‐shaped rather than rectangular or circular. Also, since this part of the southwest lacks the caliche that is common in the Phoenix valley, most pithouses lacked plastered floors. This makes them very difficult to idenfy when we are excavang them. You have to find a layer of dirt that is slightly more packed than the surrounding dirt. 5 Like other pithouses, Mogollon structures required lots of wood. This was not as large of a problem with the Mogollon, who lived in forested areas, as it would be with the Hohokam or Puebloans. 6 7 Mogollon selements during this me were ny by any standard. Selements with simultaneous occupaon of 4‐6 dwellings would have had a populaon of about 30 people total. This number is too small to reliably provide marriage partners or to offer access to diverse resources that might have been needed to offset poor crops or lack of success in hunng. These groups would have had to interact with others on a fairly regular basis. 8 Again – everything is based on poery!! This period was one of great stability among the Mogollon. Hunng and some gathering connued to be important even though agriculture was adopted everywhere. Pithouses were smaller but each selement had more structures, perhaps indicang that the basic cooperang group was the nuclear family, several of which occupied the same hamlet. Most selements were built near arable land rather than in defensive locaons. 9 The appearance of surface pueblos during this me suggests that the Puebloans are having a more important influence on the Mogollon region during this me. Some have argued that the Puebloans engaged in a “takeover”, but there is lile evidence of warfare or conquest. 10 As with the Hohokam and the Puebloans, this period was one of massive change for the Mogollon. In many parts of the Mogollon region large sites are built for the first me, possibly due to an influx of people migrang from the Puebloan region. Sites near arable land tend to be abandoned in favor of more defensive locaons. One theory –as resources become more unevenly distributed, people mass in those areas and try to defend what they have from outsiders. 11 This is famous site located along the Gila River near Silver City, NM. The structures were built into natural caves in volcanic tuff in the end of the 13th century. These structures would have been excellent defensive locaons, but not very good for growing crops. 12 The Mimbres Branch represent one group of Mogollon (like Californians are one branch of Americans). The Mimbres were so successful as both farmers and poery makers that their populaons expanded to the point where their region (Mimbres Valley) could no longer support them all. As a result, their group collapses. Note the holes in the two bowls. This is not random breakage. These holes were punched by Mogollon people when they were burying their dead. The broken bowls were placed over the faces of the deceased to allow their spirits to pass on. 13 One of the most well‐known Mogollon sites, Three Rivers Petroglyphs, seems to be a veritable Mecca for people who came to carve petroglyphs. No other site in the SW comes close to the number of petroglyphs found here. 14 A Mogollon Fish. I like this one, for some reason. 15 The variety in petroglyph designs suggests that people from many different areas are congregang here. Maybe to trade? 16 Why do you think buildings would be burned before they were le? 17 .

Admission is free. This booklet provides a background and insight of the collection with a map showing the display locations of EAC’s Mills Collection in the College’s Student Services Building. MillsHistory Collection of the rdent avocational archaeologists Jack Aand Vera Mills conducted extensive excavations on archaeological sites in Southeastern Arizona and Western New Mexico from the 1940s through the 1970s. They restored numerous pottery vessels and amassed more than 600 whole and restored pots, as well as over 5,000 other artifacts. Most of their work was carried out on private land in southeastern Arizona and western New Mexico. Towards the end of their archaeological careers, Jack and Vera Mills wished to have their collection kept intact and exhibited in a local facility. After extensive negotiations, the Eastern Arizona College Foundation acquired the collection, agreeing to place it on public display. Showcasing the Mills Collection was a weighty consideration when the new Student Services building at Eastern Arizona College was being planned. In fact, the building, and particularly the atrium area of the lobby, was designed with the Collection in mind. The public is invited to view the display. Admission is free and is open for self-guided tours during regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Dean Snow, Claire McHale-Milner, George Milner, and Heath Anderson introduced me to archaeology, and Alan Walker introduced me to human evolution and paleoanthropology. They encouraged me to continue in anthropology after graduating from Happy Valley. I was fortunate enough to do fieldwork in Koobi Fora, Kenya with professors Jack Harris and Carolyn Dillian, amongst others in 2008. Northern Kenya is a beautiful place and participating in fieldwork there was an amazing experience. Being there gave me research opportunities that I completed for my Master’s thesis at New Mexico State University. Carolyn deserves a special acknowledgement because she taught me about the interesting questions that can be asked with sourcing obsidian artifacts.

  • Human Securities, Sustainability, and Migration in the Ancient U.S. Southwest and Mexican Northwest
    Copyright © 2021 by the author(s). Published here under license by the Resilience Alliance. Ingram, S. E., and S. M. Patrick. 2021. Human securities, sustainability, and migration in the ancient U.S. Southwest and Mexican Northwest. Ecology and Society 26(2):9. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-12312-260209 Synthesis Human securities, sustainability, and migration in the ancient U.S. Southwest and Mexican Northwest Scott E. Ingram 1 and Shelby M. Patrick 2 ABSTRACT. In the U.S. Southwest and Mexican Northwest region, arid-lands agriculturalists practiced sedentary agriculture for at least four thousand years. People developed diverse lifeways and a repertoire of successful dryland strategies that resemble those of some small-scale agriculturalists today. A multi-millennial trajectory of variable population growth ended during the early 1300s CE and by the late 1400s population levels in the region declined by about one-half. Here we show, through a meta-analysis of sub-regional archaeological studies, the spatial distribution, intensity, and variation in social and environmental conditions throughout the region prior to depopulation. We also find that as these conditions, identified as human insecurities by the UN Development Programme, worsened, the speed of depopulation increased. Although these conditions have been documented within some sub-regions, the aggregate weight and distribution of these insecurities throughout the Southwest/Northwest region were previously unrecognized. Population decline was not the result of a single disturbance, such as drought, to the regional system; it was a spatially patterned, multi-generational decline in human security. Results support the UN’s emphasis on increasing human security as a pathway toward sustainable development and lessening forced migration.

Kidder, dean of Southwestern archaeologists, enjoys quoting one of his eastern advisors who assured him, sometime before 1920, that he'should choose a field other than the Southwest because it was "a sucked orange." Ever since the latter part of the nineteenth century, archaeologists have been digging, deducing, and pulling hair over new discoveries and their meaning. Archaeology is anything but a static science. Since 1~30 three major Southwestern cultures which flourished after the time .of Christ, have been recognized as distinct from the single culture (Basket Maker­ Pueblo) previously known. Until 1928 the idea that Paleo-Indians might have lived in the Southwest-or in the Americas-was considered a concept of crackpot amateurs. Anyone suggesting that man might have seen, killed, and eaten animals of those types characteristic of the Pleistocene but becoming extinct sometime before the Recent period quickly was stripped of his ·scientific reputation by "conservative" brothers.

  • The Mogollon Culture
    The Mogollon Culture The Mogollon culture appears to have developed from an earlier culture, the Cochise, an archaic culture of small nomadic hunting and gathering bands who lived in the mountainous parts of the Southwestern United States. The introduction of pottery, probably from the south, marked the beginnings of the culture we call Mogollon. The Mogollon lived in the mountainous region of eastern Arizona and western New Mexico from about 200 B.C. to 1450 A.D. The Mogollon culture was named by University of Arizona archaeologist Emil Haury after the Mogollon Mountain area of New Mexico. This group of people first lived in pithouses and made a plain brown pottery. www.statemuseum.arizona.edu Map of Prehistoric Southwestern Cultures The type and density of Mogollon houses and villages changed over time, but they always appeared to value a shared community life. The earliest Mogollon villages were groups of several pithouses. Early Mogollon pithouses were quite deep and usually round or oval. Pithouses are houses dug into the ground surface with stick and thatch roofs supported by posts and beams and plastered on the outside with dirt and clay. Some early Mogollon sites had a pit house that was three times larger than the others in the village. Arizona Department of Education 1 The Mogollon Culture Archaeologists believe this was the beginning of communal rooms sometimes called kivas, found in many later Mogollon villages and sites. Pit homes gradually became more elaborate and rectangular in shape. Villages at first were on hilltops or mesas near the river valleys, possibly because they were easier to defend.
