  • Aztec Ruins National Monument General Management Plan
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Aztec Ruins National Monument New Mexico General Management Plan and Environmental Assessment The National Park Service preserves unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The Park Service cooperates with partners to extend the benefi ts of natural and cultural resources conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world. 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.

The incredible ruins and cliff dwellings of the “Ancients” in the area were the homes of the ancestors of today’s Pueblo Indians who are now mostly concentrated in Pueblos along the Rio Grande River and its tributaries in north-central New Mexico and the Zuni in western New Mexico and Hopi in Arizona. The mystic and cultural draw of New Mexico’s Land of Enchantment and towns like Santa Fe and Taos are intimately tied to the present-day descendants of the “Ancients” or Anasazi. However, there is nowhere that has made a complete connection between the “Ancients” and the present.

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. Lekson Figure 1.1 The Chaco region. Center mimics precisely Pueblo Bonito, the most famous Chaco ruin.

The beer bottle features the Sun Dagger solstice marker, with three beams of light striking a spiral petroglyph, presumably indicating that it is five o’clock somewhere.
