EMAP Flying Fish – LA37767 Unit 34, 1998

The Site LA 37767 was excavated through two seasons in the summer of 1998 and 2001 by the ASU Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project (EMAP) Field School. The goal of this project was to collect data from Mimbres Classic Period habitation rooms in order to examine the occupational and abandonment history of such sites in the Eastern Mimbres area. This report summarizes the results of the excavation conducted in Unit 34 of the site in 2001. LA 37767 consists of multiple roomblocks; there are at least three roomblocks and two or three isolated rooms spread across the terrace in the E-W direction. It is known from previous research that these roomblocks were occupied in multiple periods with at least two superimposed construction phases. The site lies on a basalt piedmont above the floodplain of the Arroyo Seco. The Arroyo Seco is a locally perennial stream, draining a portion of the Black Range of southwest New Mexico into the Rio Grande to the east.

LA 37767遗址由亚利桑那州立大学东部明布雷斯考古项目（ASU Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project, EMAP）野外实习队于1998年与2001年夏季分两季开展考古发掘。本项目旨在采集明布雷斯古典期居住房址的相关数据，以探究东部明布雷斯地区该类遗址的定居与废弃历史。本报告汇总了2001年对该遗址34号探方开展发掘工作的成果。LA 37767遗址包含至少3组房址群与2至3处孤立房址，沿东西向分布于阶地之上。既往考古研究表明，上述房址群曾在多个时期被使用，且至少存在两期叠压的建筑营建阶段。该遗址坐落于塞科冲沟（Arroyo Seco）漫滩上方的玄武岩山麓带。塞科冲沟为当地常年性溪流，其流域涵盖新墨西哥州西南部的部分黑山山脉（Black Range）区域，最终向东注入格兰德河（Rio Grande）。
