The Hohokam, who inhabited the dry Sonoran desert of southern Arizona, were more or less ignored, even though they had by far the most advanced canal irrigation system in the New World. Now, the spotlight is on the Hohokam, with results that reveal a very large, multiethnic network that may have s Read More Go to Site Archaeological Parks in the U.S. - Intro.

Introduction Humans have lived in North America for at least 15,000 years, and many believe it may be much longer. It from the time of the Ice Age, or Pleistocene Epoch . The climate was much colder and it was a time of alternate expansions and retreats of the glaciers. During the time of the first people, the glaciers covered much of North America a as far south as what we know as Iowa, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The first people were hunters of big game animals such as mammoth . By the time the glaciers retreated for the last time, many of these animals had become extinct. Some archaeologists believe it was due to changing climate. Others believe it was the result of overhunting by these first people.

The materials were created both to act as course notes and to present a model. As course notes, the materials went beyond the Great Basin itself in developing some general information about indigenous societies. As a model, the materials were to illustrate the form and general content of an adequate overview/introduction to the people of a study region. Students in the course were divided into three groups and each group was assigned to a study region. The four study regions defined by the Smithsonian Institution's Handbook of North American Indians were used for this purpo Read More Go to Site Indian Ruins in the Four Corners Area Votes:0 Ancient Indian ruins in the four corners area: Here you will find references to several of the ruins located in the four corners area of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona which I have visited.

The archeologists realized with some excitement that the hairs' DNA content could be studied for clues about the origins of the prehistoric people who once lived there. But almost as soon as the discovery was announced in 1993 two nearby Indian tribes, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai and the Shoshone-Bannock, demanded that the research stop.

The earliest inhabitants of the area were nomadic peoples who lived in the area from at least 10,000 B.C., sustaining themselves by hunting game and gathering food plants. The Ancestral Puebloans (Anasazi) occupied the area from approximately A.D. 1 to A.D. 1300 and left remarkable remnants of their civilization throughout the region. The Ancestral Puebloans created a thriving populous civilization that eventually raised towers and built hundred-room cities into the cliffs of Mesa Verde. There are thousands of sites in the area, earning Mesa Verde Country® the honor of being North America's richest archaeological area Read More Go to Site Society for Commercial Archeology Votes:0 The Society for Commercial Archeology body { background-color: #FFFFFF; background-image: url(/images/logoredwide.jpg); margin: 0; padding: 0; color: #000000; } body, div, p, th, td, li, dd { font-family: Verdana, Lucida, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; } H1 {font-size: 150%;} H2 {font-size: 125%;} H3 {font-size: 100%;} H4 {font-size: 90%;} a { color: #0000FF; text-decoration: none; } a:hover { color: #0000FF; text-decoration: underline; } #mainmenu-wrapper { padding-top: 8px; padding-bottom: 11px; padding-left: 8px; text-align: center; } #mainmenu-item { padding-top: 3px; } ---> ---> If you're a member, click here to access the Members Only section.

Hart New dates on crop remains are transforming our understanding of the history of maize-bean-squash agriculture in the northeastern United States. For many years it was thought that the three plants were adopted at the same time or in quick succession, becoming established between A.D. 1000 and 1100, but it now appears that the three crops were adopted over a 2,100-year period. The old belief was based largely on the work of former New York State Museum archaeologist William A.
