Abstract
Crown et al. summarize the settlement patterns for the northern Rio Grande in north central New Mexico starting around AD 1100. Prior to that time the area had a very low population density. Aggregation occurred rapidly between AD 1250-1300 with some of it suggestive of movement of whole aggregated communities. Crown et al. break up their discussion by districts: Gallina, Chama, Taos, Jemez, Pajarito, and Santa Fe. They "review evidence for population change throughout the area and examine evidence for changes in food production, community patterns, and extraregional interaction that may relate to shifting population dynamics." (page 188-a).
