EMAP - AUD

EMAP - AUD The Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project (EMAP), co-directed by Drs. Margaret Nelson and Michelle Hegmon began in 1990, building upon earlier work by Nelson. 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 1982 Nelson was at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque and in the early 1990s 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.EMAP - AUD 东部明布雷斯考古项目（Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project，缩写EMAP）由玛格丽特·纳尔逊博士与米歇尔·赫格蒙博士联合主持，项目于1990年启动，其研究建立在纳尔逊此前的学术成果基础之上。该项目聚焦新墨西哥州西南部明布雷斯区域下辖的东部明布雷斯地区公元1000年之后的史前史研究。1982年，纳尔逊任职于阿尔伯克基的新墨西哥大学；20世纪90年代初，她转至布法罗的纽约州立大学，而赫格蒙彼时则任职于拉斯克鲁塞斯的新墨西哥州立大学。1995年，二人一同转至亚利桑那州立大学，该项目至今仍依托该校开展研究。该项目早期研究聚焦公元1150年之后的时段，具体为如今被称作后古典时期“重组阶段”（公元1150年—13世纪早期）的考古遗存。1998年之后，项目转向古典时期（公元1000年—1130年）的研究。核心研究议题涵盖重组进程的社会与生态动态、农耕群体的居住流动性、环境影响与可持续农耕实践、陶器生产与流通，以及社群组织模式。
