SIGNED: Q&X^Lk A APPROVAL BY THESIS DIRECTOR This thesis has been approved on the date shown below: i Barbara J.I Mills Assistant Professor of Anthropology 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many people, at all stages along the way. My tremendous gratitude to them all. Beth Grindell and Sharon Urban of the Arizona State Museum site files made available the computerized and paper site file records for Arizona's Great Kiva Sites. • Tim Seaman of the Laboratory of Anthropology in Santa Fe provided me with a list of LA Numbers for Great Kiva sites in New Mexico, and his staff helped with questions as I used the paper files. Alan Ferg, of the Arizona State Museum archives located Emil Haury's notes on the ceramics of Tla Kii and made copies for me. TJ Ferguson spent many weekend and late night hours teaching me and helping me with the computer drafting program used to produce Figure 3.1. He also helped me figure out how to plot sites for which I only had UTM information. My committee Bill Longacre, Jeff Dean and Barbara Mills, have helped me immeasurably. They have suggested and loaned me readings, made suggestions as to format and content, and, in editing, made sure that what I wrote was what I really meant to say. I would especially like to thank Barbara Mills for giving me the opportunity to work at the University of Arizona field school and on the field school ceramics, for her editing of substantive and grammatical eccentricities, helping me plot site locations, and for just basically keeping me on track at all stages of this process. My thanks to all of them for their cooperation as the deadlines approached. Thanks to John Taylor, Becky McKim, Michelle Stevens, Ruth Van Dyke, and Trixi Bubemyre for helping me talk through problems and their general enthusiasm, friendship and support. Finally, thanks to my parents, Bruce and Ellen Herr, and my sister, Rachel for teaching me the value of education, always supporting my decisions along the way, and providing just enough parental pride. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES 6 LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS 7 ABSTRACT 8 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION AND PROBLEM STATEMENT 9 Communal Architecture 11 The Community 13 Low-Level Integrative Architecture in the Southwest... 14 High-Level Integrative Architecture in the Southwest..15 The Great Kiva and Nonritual Integration 18 Changes in Integrative Architecture in the Southwest..19 Problem Statement 21 CHAPTER 2: GREAT KIVAS OF THE SILVER CREEK COMMUNITY 23 Defining the Silver Creek Community 23 Ceramic Dating 26 Silver Creek Great Kiva Sites: Temporal Variation 33 Silver Creek Great Kiva Sites: Spatial Variation 34 Silver Creek Great Kiva Sites: Formal Variation 35 CHAPTER 3: COMPARISONS AND CONCLUSIONS 38 Collecting Great Kivas 39 A Note on the Dates Assigned to Sites 4 0 A Model Great Kiva Chronology 42 Exploring the Great Kiva Data 49 Evaluation of the Model 62 The Silver Creek Community in the Larger Picture 65 Summary 73 Directions for Future Research 75 APPENDIX A: SITE DESCRIPTIONS 77 Pottery Hill 77 Silver Creek Great Kiva Sites Descriptions 90 AZ P: 16:20(ASM) 90 AZ P: 16:1(ASM) 91 AZ P: 16:153 (ASM) 92 AZ Q: 13:1 (ASU) 93 AZ P: 16:160(ASM) 94 AZ P: 16:112(ASM) 99 AZ P: 16:2(ASM) 105 AZ P: 16:90 (ASM) 109 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS- Continued AZ P:16:65 (ASM) 110 AZ P:16: 9 (ASM) Ill Carter Ranch 112 AZ P:11: 55 (ASU) 113 AZ P:11:124 (ASU) 114 AZ P:11:130(ASU) 114 AZ P:11:157 (ASU) 114 AZ P:12 :76 (ASU) 114 AZ P:12:99 (ASU) 115 AZ P:12:105 (ASU) 115 APPENDIX B: GREAT KIVA SITE DATA ,.116 Rio Grande 116 Eastern Puerco 116 Northern San Juan 116 San Juan 117 Little Colorado 119 West Central New Mexico 121 Gila River Drainage 122 Silver Creek Drainage 122 Provenience Unknown— New Mexico ....122 APPENDIX C: FIGURES OF GREAT KIVA DIAMETERS: BY REGION AND PERIOD 123 APPENDIX D: GREAT KIVA SITES AND REFERENCES 136 REFERENCES 142 6 LIST OF TABLES TABLE 2.1, Silver Creek Great Kiva Sites 24 TABLE 2.2, Ceramic Dates by Collection Area 26 TABLE 2.3, Ceramic Production Dates 27 TABLE 2.4, Ceramic Groups for the Silver Creek Communities 31 TABLE 3.1, Chronologicial Periods used in this Study 41 TABLE 3.2, Beginning Dates of Great Kiva Sites: By Region 52 TABLE 3.3, End Dates of Great Kiva Sites: By Region 53 TABLE 3.4, Great Kiva Frequency by Component and Region...54 TABLE 3.5, Median Great Kiva Size by Component and Region 56 TABLE 3.6, Coefficient of Variation in Great Kiva Diameters: By Component and Region 57 TABLE 3.7, Roofing Data by Component: All Regions 61 TABLE 3.8, Roofed and Unroofed Great Kiva Sites 61 TABLE 3.9, Plaza Frequency by Component and Region 64 TABLE 3.10, Site Size by Temporal Component 67 TABLE 3.11, Ware Distribution by Collection Area 68 TABLE 3.12, Dimensions of Variability: The Silver Creek and Little Colorado Regions 71 7 LIST OF FIGURES FIGURE 2.1, Side-by-side box plots of Silver Creek Great Kiva diameters (m) 36 FIGURE 3.1, Distribution of Great Kivas 50 8 ABSTRACT This thesis explores the relationship between circular great kiva sites in the Silver Creek area and counterparts in regions across the Southwest. Great kivas, as communal architecture, are important in community integration. Exploring their distribution through the variables of time, space and form helps us understand change in community integration. The patterns in the temporal and spatial distribution of the Silver Creek great kivas correspond to the patterning of these variables in the Upper Little Colorado region. The majority of Silver Creek great kivas appear in a period of westward population movement after A.D. 1000. The Silver Creek great kivas, do not, however, show the same range of formal variation. Since many of the changes in the Upper Little Colorado area are described as resolving problems of increasing population and aggregation, lower population densities in the Silver Creek area may explain the reduced formal variability of its great kivas. 9 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION AND PROBLEM STATEMENT In sedentary egalitarian societies, integrative mechanisms are important for maintaining internal community stability.

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.

  • Pueblo III Towers in the Northern San Juan. Kiva 75(3)
    CONNECTING WORLDS: PUEBLO III TOWERS IN THE NORTHERN SAN JUAN Ruth M. Van Dyke and Anthony G. King ABSTRACT The towers of the northern San Juan, including those on Mesa Verde, Hovenweep, and Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, were constructed on mesa tops, in cliff dwellings, along canyon rims, and in canyon bottoms during the Pueblo III period (A.D. 1150–1300)—a time of social and environmental upheaval. Archaeologists have interpreted the towers as defensive strongholds, lookouts, sig- naling stations, astronomical observatories, storehouses, and ceremonial facilities. Explanations that relate to towers’ visibility are most convincing. As highly visible, public buildings, towers had abstract, symbolic meanings as well as concrete, func- tional uses. We ask not just, “What were towers for?” but “What did towers mean?” One possibility is that towers were meant to encourage social cohesiveness by invoking an imagined, shared Chacoan past. The towers reference some of the same ideas found in Chacoan monumental buildings, including McElmo-style masonry, the concept of verticality, and intervisibility with iconic landforms. Another possibility is that towers symbolized a conduit out of the social and envi- ronmental turmoil of the Pueblo III period and into a higher level of the layered universe. We base this interpretation on two lines of evidence. Pueblo oral tradi- tions provide precedent for climbing upwards to higher layers of the world to escape hard times. Towers are always associated with kivas, water, subterranean concavities, or earlier sites—all places that, in Pueblo cosmologies, open to the world below our current plane. RESUMEN Las torres del norte del San Juan, inclusive ésos en Mesa Verde, en Hovenweep, y en el monumento nacional de Canyons of the Ancients, fueron construidos en cimas de mesa, en casas en acantilado, por los bordes de cañones, y en fondos de cañones durante Pueblo III (dC.

    1 UNIVERSIDAD VERACRUZANA INSTITUTO DE INVESTIGACIONES HISTORICO-SOCIALES INTRODUCCION A MESOMERICA Y NUEVOS DESCUBRIMIENTOS PROFR. DR. PEDRO JIMENEZ LARA I.I.H-S 1. Presentación. El presente curso pretende ofrecer una visión de los elementos y períodos culturales que identifican al México Antiguo. Las regiones son: oasisamérica, aridoamérica y mesoamérica Los horizontes que la componen son: arqueolítico, cenolítico inferior, cenolítico superior, protoneolítico, oasisamérica, aridoamérica, mesoamérica y los primeros contactos en el s. XVI: Planteamiento que se hace de esta manera para una mejor comprensión del curso y entender la evolución de los grupos asentados en territorio mexicano. 2.Fundamentación. Las área culturales del México Antiguo no solo se reduce a Mesoamérica como el período de máximo florecimiento que le antecedió a la conquista. En otros tiempos, antes de conocerse esta macroárea cultural, llegaron diversos grupos de cazadores-recolectores nómadas. El proceso evolutivo de estos grupos fue largo y lento, permitiendo avanzar e ir tocando diferentes niveles de desarrollo y los conocimientos necesarios para el cultivo y domesticación de las plantas como uno de los descubrimientos mas importantes durante esta fase que cambio el curso de la historia. Otra de las regiones es la llamada Oasisamérica localizada al sw de E.U. y norte de México, compuesta por grupos sedentarios agrícolas pero con una complejidad similar a la Mesoamericana. El área denominada mesoamérica, espacio donde interactuaron y se desarrollaron diversos grupos culturales, fue la “…sede de la mas alta civilización de la América precolombina. (Niederbeger, 11, 1996), se desarrollo en la mayor parte del territorio mexicano. Mesoamérica, definida así por Kirchhoff en 1943, es punto de referencia no solo para estudiosos del período prehispánico, en el convergen diversos especialistas amparados en diferentes corrientes ideológicas y enfoques: antropólogos, geógrafos prehistoriadores, historiadores, sociólogos, arquitectos, biólogos, sociólogos, por mencionar a algunos.

  • Social Scale of Mesa Verde Anasazi Kivas
    5 Social Scale of Mesa Verde Anasazi Kivas William D. Lipe Pueblo I to III Mesa Verde settlements typically have one protokiva or kiva for each block of six to nine rooms, a pattern indicative ofkiva use by a relatively small and common social segment such as an extended family or minima/lineage. These ordinary small Pueblo I protokivas and Pueblo II and III kivas were probably used for both ritual and domestic activities. Chacoan outliers in the Mesa Verde area have fewer and larger kivas, and a less regular patterning of kivas to room blocks. Kivas at Chacoan sites may have functioned at a larger scale of social integration than at Mesa Verde settlements. At roughly AD.l300, approximately coincident with the abandonment of the Mesa Verde area, most Puebloans shifted from a Mesa Verde-like pattern of many small kivas to one of large plaza-oriented sites with only a few relatively large kivas. Following Steward (1937) and Adams (this volume), this suggests a larger integrative scale for kiva use, and stronger village-level organization. Continuities in kiva architec­ ture and ritual features suggest that aspects of the religious ideology associated with earlier kivas were incorporated into the new organization. Introduction struction of large pueblos around plazas became com­ mon in the Rio Grande through Western Pueblo areas, he model for this paper is Julian Steward's classic although Steward did not discuss this (but see Adams' T 1937 article entitled "Ecological Aspects of South­ comments in Chapter 11, this volume). western Society." In that paper, Steward used the ratio Following Prudden 'sandS teward 's lead, others have of rooms to kivas as a measure of the scale of social pursued similar or related approaches to using architec­ integration in both prehistoric and historic Pueblo com­ tural characteristics and spatial relationships as indica­ munities.
