Abstract

Spielmann summarizes the data on settlement patterns in northeastern New Mexico for the Pueblo II-Pueblo IV periods. Only the data that pertain to the Pueblo IV period were marked for Outline of Cultural Materials codes. Spielmann summarizes the archaeology of the eastern Pueblos in the northern Rio Grande region of New Mexico. She divides the area up into seven districts: Middle Pecos-Roswell district, Sierra Blanco-Sacramento Mountains district, Chupadera Mesa-Salinas district, Galisteo Basin district, Tijeras Canyon district, Upper Pecos district, and Northeastern New Mexico. She explores some of the reasons behind the aggregation that occurred before and during this time period and provides a general sense of the trends in demographic and settlement patterns through a synthesis of settlement data available largely in published sources.
