This site was excavated by both graduate and undergraduate students during the summer of 2001, under the direction of Professors Margaret Nelson, Ph.D. and Michelle Hegmon Ph.D. of Arizona State University. Excavation focused on questions pertaining to environmental impact and degradation related to scale and intensity of occupation as well as strategies of land use within Mimbres occupations. LA 37767 is a Mimbres Classic Period site with at least three roomblocks and two or three isolated rooms. It is located on a basalt piedmont above the Arroyo Seco Floodplain. The Arroyo Seco is a perennial stream that drains a portion of the Black Range of southwest New Mexico into the Rio Grande.本报告为LA 37767遗址内110号发掘单元（房间）的发掘总结与初步分析。该遗址于2001年夏季由亚利桑那州立大学（Arizona State University）的玛格丽特·纳尔逊博士（Margaret Nelson, Ph.D.）与米歇尔·黑格尔蒙博士（Michelle Hegmon, Ph.D.）指导，由研究生与本科生共同开展发掘工作。本次发掘聚焦于与明布雷斯（Mimbres）时期人类居住规模、强度相关的环境影响与退化问题，以及该时期的土地利用策略。LA 37767遗址属于明布雷斯古典时期遗址，至少包含3处房址群与2至3处独立房间，坐落于阿尔塞科洪泛平原（Arroyo Seco Floodplain）上方的玄武岩山麓台地。阿尔塞科河（Arroyo Seco）为常年性河流，其流域覆盖新墨西哥州西南部的布莱克岭（Black Range）部分区域，最终注入格兰德河（Rio Grande）。
