An Environmental History of the Middle Rio Grande Basin
United States Department of From the Rio to the Sierra: Agriculture Forest Service An Environmental History of Rocky Mountain Research Station the Middle Rio Grande Basin Fort Collins, Colorado 80526 General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-5 Dan Scurlock i Scurlock, Dan. 1998. From the rio to the sierra: An environmental history of the Middle Rio Grande Basin. General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-5. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 440 p. Abstract Various human groups have greatly affected the processes and evolution of Middle Rio Grande Basin ecosystems, especially riparian zones, from A.D. 1540 to the present. Overgrazing, clear-cutting, irrigation farming, fire suppression, intensive hunting, and introduction of exotic plants have combined with droughts and floods to bring about environmental and associated cultural changes in the Basin. As a result of these changes, public laws were passed and agencies created to rectify or mitigate various environmental problems in the region. Although restoration and remedial programs have improved the overall “health” of Basin ecosystems, most old and new environmental problems persist.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND CULTURAL RESPONSE IN THE PREHISTORIC AMERICAN SOUTHWEST Larry V. Benson and Michael S. Berry ABSTRACT Comparison of regional tree-ring cutting-date distributions from the southern Col- orado Plateau and the Rio Grande region with tree-ring-based reconstructions of the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and with the timing of archaeological stage transitions indicates that Southwestern Native American cultures were peri- odically impacted by major climatic oscillations between A.D. 860 and 1600. Site- specifi c information indicates that aggregation, abandonment, and out-migration from many archaeological regions occurred during several widespread mega- droughts, including the well-documented middle-twelfth- and late-thirteenth- century droughts. We suggest that the demographic response of southwestern Native Americans to climate variability primarily refl ects their dependence on an inordinately maize-based subsistence regimen within a region in which agricul- ture was highly sensitive to climate change. -

THE Mckern “TAXONOMIC” SYSTEM and ARCHAEOLOGICAL CULTURE CLASSIFICATION in the MIDWESTERN UNITED STATES: a HISTORY and EVALUATION
Published in Bulletin of the History of Archaeology, Vol. 6, No. 1, pp. 3-9 (1996). Excepting some very minor revisions and McKern's quote describing the structure and detail of his classification this was the paper read at the IInd Indianapolis Archaeological Conference, Sheraton Meridian Hotel, November 15, 1986, organized by Neal L. Trubowitz. Since the reader of this article does not have the contributions of the other participants that describe the system it was thought advisable that it be included. The proceedings of this event were to be published as a commemorative volume of the first conference, but this never occurred. THE McKERN “TAXONOMIC” SYSTEM AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL CULTURE CLASSIFICATION IN THE MIDWESTERN UNITED STATES: A HISTORY AND EVALUATION By B. K. Swartz, Jr. from Selected Writings ABSTRACT In the first half of the 20th century three major archaeological culture unit classifications were formulated in the United States. The most curious one was the Midwestern "Taxonomic" System, a scheme that ignored time and space. Alton K. Fisher suggested to W. C. McKern in the late 1920's that the Linnean model of morphological classification, which was employed in biology at a time of pre-evolutionary thinking, might be adapted to archaeological culture classification (Fisher 1986). On the basis of this idea McKern conceived the Midwestern Taxonomic System and planned to present his concept in a paper at the Central Section of the American Anthropological Association at Ann Arbor, Michigan, in April 1932. Illness prevented him from making the presentation. The first public statement was before a small group of archaeologists at the time of an archaeological symposium, Illinois Academy of Science, May 1932 (Griffin 1943:327). -

Linguistic Revitalization Despite a wide range of speaker fluency, the now emblematic Tewa language that their Languages as Emblems of Identity ancestors transported from the Rio Grande Valley almost 325 years ago, is widely valorized Language Ideologies within the community. However Language factions have emerged andtheir debates and Speech/Language Community Tewa contestations focus on legitimate language learning and the proper maintenance of their emblematic language. Boundary creation and crossing are featuresof discourses that rationalize possible forms of language revitalization and construct communities across temporal barriers. The theoretical implications of these discourseson both local and theoretical notions of language/speech community are explored. Ó 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction As in many communities faced with language endangerment, discourses of language and identity have been multiplied and magnified by contemporary transformations in the Village of Tewa. But this is a community wherein language and group identity have an especially long and rich history of linkage in actual practice and in indigenous metalinguistic commentary. Today the Arizona Tewas number around seven hundred individuals who reside on and near the Village of Tewa on First Mesa of the Hopi Reservation in NE Arizona. -

MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO OFFICE OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDIES A DATA RECOVERY PLAN FOR LA 9075, ALONG NM 53, CIBOLA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO Stephen C. Lentz Submitted by Yvonne R. Oakes Principal Investigator ARCHAEOLOGY NOTES 270 SANTA FE 2000 NEW MEXICO ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY The Archaeological Site Stabilization and Preservation Project (ASSAPP), Office of Archaeological Studies, Museum of New Mexico, conducted a site evaluation of LA 9075 (the La Vega site), a large multicomponent site along NM 53 in Cibola County, New Mexico, on private lands and highway right-of-way. The New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department (NMSHTD) proposes to stabilize areas within the boundaries of the site and within the NMSHTD right-of-way that have been or may be affected by erosion. The Office of Archaeological Studies has been working under contract with the NMSHTD to identify endangered archaeological sites within highway rights-of-way. Subsequent to shoulder construction and improvement by the NMSHTD, additional cultural resources were exposed within the Museum’s project area. The OAS/ASSAPP program identified five major areas within the highway right-of-way at LA 9075 where cultural resources are threatened by erosion. These areas have been targeted for stabilization. In conjunction with the NMSHTD, District 6, the OAS proposes to conduct a data recovery program on the affected areas prior to stabilization efforts. NMSHTD Project No. TPE-7700 (14), CN 9163 MNM Project No. 41.596 (Archaeological Site Stabilization and Protection Project) Submitted in fulfillment of Joint Powers Agreement J0089-95 between the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department and the Office of Archaeological Studies, Museum of New Mexico. -
