SIGNED: Samuel Gregg Duwe 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation was made possible by the help and support of many colleagues and mentors. I wish to particularly thank my committee – Barbara Mills, E. Charles Adams, Daniela Triadan (of the University of Arizona and Arizona State Museum), and Severin Fowles (Barnard College and Columbia University) – for providing direction and advice, not only for the dissertation but also for my entire graduate career. I would also like to thank the two ‘unoffical’ members of my committee, Kurt Anschuetz and Richard Ford, for offering their encouragement and insight into Tewa archaeology and landscapes. I am deeply indebted to many people and institutions, including the staff of the Laboratory of Anthropology (particularly Lou Haecker, Dody Fugate, Dedie Snow, Julia Clifton, and Tony Thibodeau); Dean Wilson and Steve Lakatos at the Office for Archaeological Studies; Rich Lange who taught me how to use a total station; Jeff Dean and Ron Towner of the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research; the Village Ecodynamics Project and Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, the government and people of Ohkay Owingeh (San Juan Pueblo); and Hector Neff and the faculty and staff of IIRMES and the Department of Anthropology, California State University–Long Beach. I was very lucky, and am very grateful, to have friends and family join me in the field and help me survey and map: Michael Duwe, Janis Duwe, Natalie Farrell, Kaet Heupel, Kelly Jenks, Kelly Swarts, and Bill Reitze. I have also benefited immensely from ‘talking shop’ with Lewis Borck, Diane Curewitz, Liz Cutright-Smith, Katherine Dungan, T. J. Ferguson, Sam Fladd, Lars Fogelin, Brandon Gabler, Rory Gauthier, Randy Haas, Saul Hedquist, Kacy Hollenback, Rob Jones, Cassidy, David Killick, Katie MacFarland, Lizzie May, Scott Ortman, Matt Pailes, Bill Reitze, Ted Roberts, Susan Ryan, Mike Schiffer, James Snead, Jeff Reid, Dana Drake Rosenstein, Brad Vierra, and Nieves Zedeño. Kelly Swarts provided critical insight and perspective from the earliest stages of this project. Northern New Mexico is blessed with very nice and helpful people, some of whom manage or own cultural resources. I wish to thank the following people and institutions for allowing me access to archaeological sites and being wonderful collaborators: Mike Bremer, Anne Baldwin, and Jeremy Kulisheck (Santa Fe National Forest), Paul Williams (Bureau of Land Management – Taos Resource Office), Brad Vierra (Stastistical Research, Inc., formerly of Los Alamos National Laboratory), Jim Walker (The Archaeological Conservancy), David Eck (New Mexico State Lands Office), Gloria Valencia, and the staff of Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort and Spa. This research was kindly funded by multiple institutions. A National Science Foundation Dissertation Improvement Grant (#0741708) provided the majority of the funding required for fieldwork and the SAA’s Fred Plog Memorial Fellowship aided substantially during later stages of research. Additional funding for laboratory research was provided by the University of Arizona’s IGERT program in archaeological science and many grants and scholarships from the School of Anthropology. Hector Neff and his colleagues at IIRMES at CSU–Long Beach also provided money and support for multiple laser ablation marathon sessions. Both the Florence C. and Robert H. Lister Fellowship 5 and the Emil W. Haury Fellowship funded my last year of writing, and significantly improved the final form of this dissertation. It will be tough to finally leave Tucson. I am indebted to many friends at the University of Arizona who offered support and encouragement, acted as sounding boards and much-needed critics, and came together to form a great community. These include members of the Ramada Society, the players on ‘Chaco Meridian’ (School of Anthropology softball team), the residents of the Blenman-Elm neighborhood, and Haury fourth-floor anthropologists. In particular, Rob Jones, Amy Jones, Lizzie May, and Bill Reitze were willing to hang out with me as I spent weeks formatting tables, which was great. Finally, I wish to thank my parents, family, and Kelly for their love and unending support. 6 DEDICATION For Dick and Kurt 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES .......................................................................................................... 11 LIST OF TABLES............................................................................................................ 24 ABSTRACT...................................................................................................................... 33 CHAPTER 1 – RETURN TO COSMOLOGY................................................................. 35 Introduction................................................................................................................. 35 The problem .............................................................................................................. 35 Initial claims ................................................................................................................ 42 What is cosmology? .................................................................................................. 42 Cosmology is a memory project................................................................................ 46 Cosmologies reflect group identity ........................................................................... 50 Initial questions ........................................................................................................... 52 Structure and human action...................................................................................... 53 A multi-scalar approach to time and the cosmos...................................................... 57 A “possible theory of history” .................................................................................. 60 Landscapes and space............................................................................................... 68 The case of the Pueblos............................................................................................... 70 The Pueblos in space ................................................................................................ 71 The Pueblos in time................................................................................................... 73 Enter the Tewa Basin................................................................................................ 75 CHAPTER 2 – THE PUEBLO COSMOS IN SPACE..................................................... 77 Regarding ethnography.............................................................................................. 82 A Pueblo worldview .................................................................................................... 87 Center, edge, and directionality................................................................................ 89 Emergence................................................................................................................. 92 Dualities.................................................................................................................... 93 Movement.................................................................................................................. 95 Connectedness........................................................................................................... 96 The Tewa Pueblos ......................................................................................................

    Cultural Resources Overview Desert Peaks Complex of the Organ Mountains – Desert Peaks National Monument Doña Ana County, New Mexico Myles R. Miller, Lawrence L. Loendorf, Tim Graves, Mark Sechrist, Mark Willis, and Margaret Berrier Report submitted to the Wilderness Society Sacred Sites Research, Inc. July 18, 2017 Public Version This version of the Cultural Resources overview is intended for public distribution. Sensitive information on site locations, including maps and geographic coordinates, has been removed in accordance with State and Federal antiquities regulations. Executive Summary Since the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) in 1966, at least 50 cultural resource surveys or reviews have been conducted within the boundaries of the Desert Peaks Complex. These surveys were conducted under Sections 106 and 110 of the NHPA. More recently, local avocational archaeologists and supporters of the Organ Monument-Desert Peaks National Monument have recorded several significant rock art sites along Broad and Valles canyons. A review of site records on file at the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division and consultations with regional archaeologists compiled information on over 160 prehistoric and historic archaeological sites in the Desert Peaks Complex. Hundreds of additional sites have yet to be discovered and recorded throughout the complex. The known sites represent over 13,000 years of prehistory and history, from the first New World hunters who gazed at the nighttime stars to modern astronomers who studied the same stars while peering through telescopes on Magdalena Peak. Prehistoric sites in the complex include ancient hunting and gathering sites, earth oven pits where agave and yucca were baked for food and fermented mescal, pithouse and pueblo villages occupied by early farmers of the Southwest, quarry sites where materials for stone tools were obtained, and caves and shrines used for rituals and ceremonies.

Maxwell Principal Investigator ARCWOLOGY NOTJ3S 99 SANTA FE 1992 NEW MEXICO " . ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY In November 1991, and February and March 1992, the Office of Archaeological Studies, Museum of New Mexico, conducted archaeological test excavations at eight sites along U.S. 285, several miles north of its junction with U.S. 84, in southern Rlo Arriba County, New Mexico. The project was conducted at the request of the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department, which plans to realign and reconstruct portions of U.S. 285 in the lower Ojo Caliente Valley. All the sites tested during this project are on privately owned land located adjacent to the present U.S. 285 right-of-way, and test excavations were conducted with the permission of the landowners. Sites investigated on this project include a single lithic artifact scatter (LA 831 lo), six lithic and ceramic artifact scatters (LA 83 107, LA 83 109, LA 831 11, LA 831 14, LA 831 18, and LA 83151), and two agricultural field complexes (LA 831 16 and LA 831 17). Dates of occupation and use range from Early to Middle Archaic through Late Archaic-Basketmaker I1 (ca. 4800 B.C.-A.D. 400), and from the Coalition and Classic periods through the early historic period (ca.

Boyer, Steven A. Lakatos, and James L. Moore Contributions by Nancy J. Akins Eric Blinman Pamela McBride Mollie S. Toll C. Dean Wilson Submitted by Timothy D. Maxwell Principal Investigator Archaeology Notes 323 SANTA FE 2003 NEW MEXICO ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY In April 2003, the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department (NMSHTD) requested that the Museum of New Mexico's Office of Archaeological Studies (OAS) prepare a plan for data recovery at sites LA 84927, LA 89021, and LA 138960. The sites are located near the Rio Tesuque on Pueblo of Tesuque land in Santa Fe County, New Mexico. Data recovery will be performed prior to planned reconstruction of U.S. 84/285. The three sites have multiple components, with evidence of probable Archaic and prehis- toric Puebloan occupations. Structures, features, and intact deposits are present. The sites have the potential to contribute information to our understanding of regional history and prehisto- ry, and have substantial integrity. This document presents the proposed data recovery plan. Data recovery investigations will be conducted in areas of the sites coinciding with proposed construction activity. Data recovery efforts at LA 84927, LA 89021, and LA 138960 are linked to the overarching research orientation of the encompassing U.S. 84/285 Santa Fe to Pojoaque Corridor Project. The project research orientation focuses on, but is not limited to, inter- and intra-regional social and ideological relationships, community formation, economic and subsistence strate- gies, and ethnic identities in the Tewa Basin.

Anschuetz Thomas Merlan Anschuetz, Kurt F.; Merlan, Thomas. 2007. More than a scenic mountain landscape: Valles Caldera National Preserve land use history. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-196. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 277 p. Abstract This study focuses on the cultural-historical environment of the 88,900-acre (35,560-ha) Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP) over the past four centuries of Spanish, Mexican, and U.S. governance. It includes a review and synthesis of available published and unpublished historical, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic literature about the human occupation of the area now contained within the VCNP. Documents include historical maps, texts, letters, diaries, business records, photographs, land and mineral patents, and court testimony. This study presents a cultural-historical framework of VCNP land use that will be useful to land managers and researchers in assessing the historical ecology of the property. It provides VCNP administrators and agents the cultural-historical background needed to develop management plans that acknowledge traditional associations with the Preserve, and offers managers additional background for structuring and acting on consultations with affiliated communities. The Authors Kurt F. Anschuetz, an archaeologist and anthropologist, is the Program Director of the RÍo Grande Foundation for Communities and Cultural Landscapes in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He provides educational opportunities and technical assistance to Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo communities working to sustain their traditional relations with the land, the water, and their cultural heritage resources in the face of rapid development.
