Abstract
Sullivan uses data from the Wupatki National Monument survey to examine how boundaries may have arisen. Ceramic data indicate the area was settled by the Anasazi after 870 BP (AD 1130). Many one room masonry structures contained few artifacts and may 'be the remains of markers ... that were designed to minimize ambiguity pertaining to use of the Monument's agricultural commons...' (page 199).
