SIGNED: Natalia Martínez Tagüeña 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the result of a long time effort and it was only accomplished through support and collaboration. Any mistake or misrepresentation throughout the document is my responsibility. The quality of the work presented here was only possible thanks to my Co-Chairs Suzanne K. Fish and Thomas E. Sheridan, who not only believed in me and pressured me, but took the time to correct and revise in detail this work. It was also thanks to the rest of my committee members Mary C. Stiner, M. Nieves Zedeño and TJ Ferguson who patiently provided me their time and amazing ideas to improve this research. I am in forever gratitude for your teachings and all the knowledge I have gathered throughout the years. The type of anthropological endeavor that I seek to accomplish and promote comes from my committee members’s example of work, which I truly admire. I am grateful for having studied the graduate program at the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona, and while I learned from every conversation and interaction I had with all of its members, I will mention some key people for my work: Diane Austin, Thomas McGuire, Jim Greenberg, Charles Adams, Steve Kuhn, Vance Holliday, Barbara Mills, Paul Fish, Jim Watson and Dale Brenneman. I also thank the many colleagues, teachers and friends that have contributed to my formation in particular Douglas Kennett, Barbara Voorhies, Gregory Pereira, Karen Adams, Jane Kelley, Jonathan Mabry, and Elisa Villalpando. To John Carpenter and Guadalupe Sanchez for their continuous love and support. I follow your steps. Specially, I thank Rodrigo Rentería who not only taught me about the Comcaac but also took me there for the first time and introduced me to his friends (compa, gracias por todas las interminables conversaciones, por compartir las pasiones por la comunidad Comcaac). This dissertation emanates from a collaborative effort with and for the Comcaac community. I am not the same person who first arrived there with curiosity. I have grown and learned. I have the privilege of knowing many Comcaac who have generously shared with me their knowledge and friendship. They trust me and for that I am forever in debt with them. I cannot mention everybody that has contributed and participated but I will mention some. Luz Torres and Imelda Morales have always been there for this project and for me. All the elders have been essential for this research in particular Lorenzo Herrera, Armando and Angelita Torres, Francisco Morales, Roberto Molina, Efrain Estrella, Maria Luisa, Amalia and Aurora Astorga, Jesus Rojo, Juanita Herrera, Adolfo Burgos, Antonio Robles, Carolina Felix, Adolfo Lopez, Cleotilde Morales, Francisco and Chapo Barnett, and Pancho Moreno. Other people that have always supported me are the members of the Hoeffer, Torres, Martínez and Astorga families. Also Samuel Monroy, Manuel Monroy, Oscar Perales, Miguel Estrella, Humberto Morales, Martin Barnett, Luis Miguel Lopez, Fernando Torres, and Benjamin Molina. Many young people participated in different activities like Tito, Isaac, Kevin, Cristian, Aaron, Esteban, Mayra, Beto, Terry, Cesar, Alejandra, Karelia, Yumeli, Diana, Otilia, Hilda, Ulises, Abraham, Poncho, Roxana, Cesar, Eliazar, and Jesus. My apologies in advance if I am forgetting someone. This research was possible thanks to the Comcaac. This study was supported by funding from various sources: CONACyT (Beca por convenio para estudios de posgrado), a research grant from William Self Associates Consultants in Archaeology and Historic Preservation, a research grant from Thompson Endowment Fund and various smaller grants provided by the School of Anthropology 4 Scholarship Committee. Guillermo Reitze provided lodging and support in Kino Bay while sharing my interest on the Comcaac. GIS and field mapping assistance was granted by Michael Brack and for the final map production support was received from the Centro de Investigación en Geografía y Geomática (CentroGeo, CONACyT), in particular Dr. José Ignacio Chapela, Dr. Javier Aldabe, Silvestre Zepeda Ferrer and Isidro Rangel.

The wild tomatillo, Physalis longifolia Nutt., and related species have been important wild-harvested foods and medicinal plants. This paper reviews their traditional use as food and medicine; it also discusses taxonomic difficulties and provides information on recent medicinal chemistry discoveries within this and related species. Subtle morphological differences recognized by taxonomists to distinguish this species from closely related taxa can be confusing to botanists and ethnobotanists, and many of these differences are not considered to be important by indigenous people. Therefore, the food and medicinal uses reported here include information for P. longifolia, as well as uses for several related taxa found north of Mexico. The importance of wild Physalis species as food is reported by many tribes, and its long history of use is evidenced by frequent discovery in archaeological sites. These plants may have been cultivated, or “tended,” by Pueblo farmers and other tribes. The importance of this plant as medicine is made evident through its historical ethnobotanical use, information in recent literature on Physalis species pharmacology, and our Native Medicinal Plant Research Program’s recent discovery of 14 new natural products, some of which have potent anti-cancer activity.

    How Historical Myths Are Born ...And Why They Seldom

    A depiction of La Salle's Texas settlement from Carlos Castañeda's Our Catholic Heritage in Texas (volume l) bearing the misnomer "Fort Saint Louis." How Historical Myths Are Born . And Why They Seldom Die* BY DONALD E. CHIPMAN AND ROBERT S. WEDDLE* Introduction HEN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS MADE HIS FIRST LANDFALL ON the fringe of North America, he believed he had reached the WEast Indies. He therefore called the strange people he met "Indians," a name that came to be applied to all American indigenes. In similar manner, inappropriate names—or names misapplied—have risen all across the Americas. When one of these historical errors arises, it takes on a life of its own, though not without a healthy boost from us historians. Historians, of course, come in all stripes, and so do the myths they espouse. Somedmes the most egregious of them may result from the purest intentions. But there is no denying that others are born of impure motives, of which the most prevalent perhaps is chauvinism—bending his- tory out of shape by falsely linking some major historic episode to one's native province. Mostly, however, such miscues arise from the urgency to provide answers—an explanation, a name, or an opinion—before the facts at hand justify it. For example, consider the various identities posited for the river shown on the famous "Pineda" map sketch (ca. 1519) as El Rio del Espíritu Santo. Was it the Mississippi as it has been long thought to be, or some other stream, perhaps as far east as Florida or as far west as Texas? Still * Donald E.

(December 2011) Aline A. Lovings, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Lori E. Wright This study uses Transition Analysis on the Mimbres skeletal remains of the NAN Ranch Ruin to provide a more complete picture of its demography. Previous attempts to reconstruct the demographic structure of prehistoric populations have been hindered by aging methods that provide biased age distribution. Early methods had a tendency to produce age distribution similar to that of the reference sample that was used to create them. In addition, they often overlooked sexual dimorphism and left out the senescent portion of the population which in turns produced inaccurate population structures.

Todd Smith, Committee Member Andy Schoolmaster, Committee Member Richard Golden, Chair of the Department of History C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Carlisle, Jeffrey D., Spanish Relations with the Apache Nations East of the Río Grande. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May 2001, 391 pp., bibliography, 206 titles. This dissertation is a study of the Eastern Apache nations and their struggle to survive with their culture intact against numerous enemies intent on destroying them. It is a synthesis of published secondary and primary materials, supported with archival materials, primarily from the Béxar Archives. The Apaches living on the plains have suffered from a lack of a good comprehensive study, even though they played an important role in hindering Spanish expansion in the American Southwest. When the Spanish first encountered the Apaches they were living peacefully on the plains, although they occasionally raided nearby tribes. When the Spanish began settling in the Southwest they changed the dynamics of the region by introducing horses. The Apaches quickly adopted the animals into their culture and used them to dominate their neighbors. Apache power declined in the eighteenth century when their Caddoan enemies acquired guns from the French, and the powerful Comanches gained access to horses and began invading northern Apache territory.

    Projectile Points as Indicators of Preceramic Occupation of the Coconino Plateau by Michael G. Lyndon A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology Northern Arizona University August 2005 Approved: ___________________________ Francis E. Smiley IV, Ph.D., Chair ___________________________ Christian E. Downum, Ph.D. ___________________________ Robert T. Trotter II, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Projectile Points as Indicators of Preceramic Occupation of the Coconino Plateau Michael G. Lyndon The study presented here represents the first regional analysis of how preceramic site distributions on the Coconino Plateau changed through time. Although a growing body of literature focuses on the ceramic-era Cohonina people that inhabited the area after A.D. 700, only a few projects have offered any insight into the 12,000 year period of human occupation prior to that time. The paucity of data regarding the preceramic period on the Coconino Plateau has long frustrated attempts to develop a complete culture-history for the region. As Hanson (1996:2) notes, “[t]he chronology of the Archaic west of the [San Francisco] Peaks is not well developed and the identity of the antecedent Archaic populations is not possible with the current evidence.” This study seeks to identify such populations by using the temporally diagnostic projectile points they left on the landscape in order to develop an initial culture chronology for the Coconino Plateau. I argue throughout this thesis that the absence of such a chronology coupled with the lack of archaeological investigation into the preceramic periods on the Coconino Plateau has biased archaeological site data for the region.

    Archaeological Parks and Monuments of Central Arizona

    ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARKS AND MONUMENTS OF CENTRAL ARIZONA Tonto National Monument – Upper Cliff Dwelling NPS PHOTO INTRODUCTION The purpose of this website is to provide some information about the prehistory of the Southwest with a focus on two of this regions prehistoric cultures: the Hohokam and Salado and their historic homelands. Native Americans have occupied what is now Arizona for thousands of years. There is no other place in the United States that contains such monumental remnants of prehistoric cultures as the Southwest desert of North America. The largest Native American reservation (majority of the Navajo Nation) and the second largest, the Tohono O’odham Nation, are located in Arizona. The purpose of these pages are also to give visitors to the Apache Junction, Arizona area a glimpse of the well-preserved ancient dwellings and history of the indigenous people whose civilizations occupied this region. These people flourished here in the Southwest Sonoran Desert centuries ago, prior to the first Spanish explorers arriving here in Arizona around the mid-late 15th century. Expecting to find great riches, the Spaniards encountered communities of Native Americans. The Southwest is described as extending from Durango, Mexico, to Durango, Colorado, and from Las Vegas, New Mexico, to Las Vegas, Nevada. (Cordell 1984:2) Rock art in Canyon de Chelly, Arizona Southwest Cultures’ Geographical Area Illustration by John McDonald Archaeologists believe some of the first early inhabitants arrived here in the Southwest some 11,000 to 15,000 years ago (Paleo-Indian Tradition). Archaeological evidence of the earliest Paleo-Indians in the American Southwest comes from two mammoth kill sites in Southern Arizona.
