prehistoric pueblo world, a.d. 1150-1350 • Tucson • Published In 1996 • Pages: 131-144
By: Kintigh, Keith W..
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Kintigh describes the settlement patterns of the Cibola region along with what areas have been surveyed and by whom. He points out that for the Cibola region, whenever aggregation occurs 'there are large and economically attractive sections of the landscape that were unoccupied (although not necessarily unused).' (page 139). Kintigh also argues that 'the apparent lack of sites with between 60 and 100 rooms is due to a different level of social integration operating at the small villages in contrast to the large communities and towns. … [O]ne may argue that corporate decisions in the villages were reached by a consensus of heads of households. However, the size of the population of the communities and towns in the Zuni area would have required some higher-level decision making.' (page 139).
