Todd, Brenda Kaye (Ph.D. Department of Anthropology) Chimney Rock, an Eleventh Century Chacoan Great House: Export, Emulation, or Something Else? Thesis directed by Professor Stephen H. Lekson. This dissertation asks the question: was Chimney Rock Great House an “export” or an “emulation” of Chaco Canyon? This question – a classic formulation in Chacoan studies, is addressed by a controlled comparison of specific variables of the architecture and ceramic assemblages from Chimney Rock Great House, Pueblo Alto in Chaco Canyon, and the Bluff Great House in Utah. Each Great House is compared to an associated, smaller community site (29SJ 627 in Chaco Canyon, the Ravine Site near Chimney Rock, and the Corral Canyon Site near Bluff) to determine if there are significant differences in architectural traits or ceramic assemblages warranting their designation as disparate site types (Great House vs. community site). Ceramics at the six sites are compared for ware category, vessel form, and temper type. Results of the ceramic analysis indicate that sites outside of Chaco Canyon obtained the bulk of ceramics locally, but that Great Houses had access to similar trade networks as sites located in Chaco, and to more exotic goods than smaller sites. Architecture at each of the six sites was investigated for a suite of Chacoan architectural characteristics (Great House; formality in layout and design of the Great House; Great Kiva and specific floor features associated with Great Kivas; Chacoan roads; earthen architecture; Chacoan round rooms; formal plaza), room sizes are compared, the scale of construction events are compared, and architectural histories explored. Results of the architectural analysis indicate that Chaco-era sites are variable, but that there is a distinct difference between Great House sites and small sites. The conventional methodology of iii the “export vs. emulation” framework is critiqued and alternative approaches that may be better suited to explore the diversity documented in the Chacoan World are presented. These approaches include investigating the rare components of artifact assemblages, considering the architectural history of buildings, and looking at relationships between political capitals and provinces in other prehistoric civilizations as possible models for interaction in the Chaco World. iv Acknowledgements I would like to thank Julie Coleman of the USDA Forest Service for asking the University of Colorado to be a part of the Chimney Rock Stabilization Project, and the Chimney Rock Interpretive Association for supporting the work (with funds from Colorado State Historical Fund, Tourism Cares for Tomorrow, Save America’s Treasures, and the Gates Family Fund). In addition, the University of Colorado Department of Anthropology and Museum of Natural History provided significant support. Thank you to Wendy Sutton (San Juan National Forest) for her support and guidance during the project. Thank you to Glenn Raby for your long time dedication to the protection and understanding of Chimney Rock. A big round of applause is due to the volunteers of the Chimney Rock Interpretive Association.

Thank you to Jonathan Till for providing me with the report for the Corral Canyon Site included in this dissertation. I would like to thank my advisor, Steve Lekson, for allowing me to direct the work at Chimney Rock and for mentoring me during both my Master’s degree and Ph.D. (and for reading and re-reading various versions of this dissertation!). Thank you to my committee for their careful reading and thoughtful comments on my dissertation. This feedback has greatly v improved my work. I am forever grateful to Dr. Jeffrey Luftig at the College of Engineering and Applied Science at CU for taking time out of his summer to work with me on identifying and executing the appropriate statistical analyses for my data. A big thank you to Cathy Cameron for the use of your office for the storage and packing of the Chimney Rock collections. My research and writing were facilitated by the receipt of a Summer Dissertation Fellowship from the Graduate School. I would like to thank the Department of Anthropology and the Graduate School for numerous travel grants that allowed me to travel to conferences to present my work. I would like to thank my family and friends for their support and friendship throughout this process. I am very grateful to my coach, Ellen Fox, for helping me to persevere and to maintain my sanity during the final phases of the dissertation process. Most especially, I would like to thank my husband, Adam Reynolds. Adam, you were by my side from start to finish and I appreciate your support and encouragement more than you will ever know.

  • A History of the Ancient Southwest
    A HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT SOUTHWEST one Fore! — Orthodoxies Archaeologies: 1500 to 1850 Histories: “Time Immemorial” to 1500 BC This book is about southwestern archaeology and the ancient Southwest—two very different things. Archaeology is how we learn about the distant past. The ancient Southwest is what actu- ally happened way back then. Archaeology will never disclose or discover everything that happened in the ancient Southwest, but archaeology is our best scholarly way to know any- thing about that distant past. After a century of southwestern archaeology, we know a lot about what happened in the ancient Southwest. We know so much—we have such a wealth of data and information—that much of what we think we know about the Southwest has been necessarily compressed into conventions, classifications, and orthodoxies. This is particularly true of abstract concepts such as Anasazi, Hohokam, and Mogollon. A wall is a wall, a pot is a pot, but Anasazi is… what exactly? This book challenges several orthodoxies and reconfigures others in novel ways—“novel,” perhaps, like Gone with the Wind. I try to stick to the facts, but some facts won’t stick to me. These are mostly old facts—nut-hard verities of past generations. Orthodoxies, shiny from years of handling, slip through fingers and fall through screens like gizzard stones. We can work without them. We already know a few turkeys were involved in the story. Each chapter in this book tells two parallel stories: the development, personalities, and institutions of southwestern archaeology (“archaeologies”) and interpretations of what actu- ally happened in the ancient past (“histories”).
