Anderson (LA37690) - Site Map

Anderson (LA37690) - Site Map. This site was excavated prior to the Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project, co-directed by Drs. Margaret Nelson and Michelle Hegmon that began in 1993. EMAP focuses on the later (post-AD 1000) prehistory of the eastern Mimbres area, a portion of the Mimbres region in southwest New Mexico. In 1993 Nelson was at the State University of New York, Buffalo, and Hegmon was at New Mexico State University, Las Cruces. In 1995 both moved to Arizona State University, where they and the project reside today. Earlier work by EMAP focused on the post-AD 1150 period, specifically what is now called the Reorganization phase [1150-early 1200s] of the Postclassic period. After 1998 the project focused on the Classic period (AD 1000-1130). Key research issues include the social and ecological dynamics of reorganization, residential mobility among farmers, environmental impact and sustainable farming practices, pottery production and exchange, and community organization.安德森遗址（LA37690）——遗址分布图。该遗址曾在东明布雷斯考古项目（Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project，简称EMAP）启动前被发掘，该项目由玛格丽特·纳尔逊（Margaret Nelson）博士与米歇尔·赫格蒙（Michelle Hegmon）博士共同主持，于1993年正式启动。EMAP的研究聚焦于新墨西哥州西南部明布雷斯地区东部的公元1000年之后的史前史。1993年，纳尔逊任职于纽约州立大学布法罗分校，赫格蒙则任职于新墨西哥州立大学拉斯克鲁塞斯分校；1995年，二人一同转至亚利桑那州立大学，该项目如今也依托该机构开展研究工作。该项目早期的研究方向为公元1150年之后的时段，具体即如今所称的后古典时期（Postclassic period）重组阶段（Reorganization phase，公元1150年—12世纪早期）。1998年之后，项目转向古典时期（公元1000年—1130年）的相关研究。其核心研究议题包括：社会重组与生态动态、农耕群体的居住流动性、环境影响与可持续农耕实践、陶器生产与交换，以及社区组织。
