EMAP Pague Well - LA130191 Unit 43, 2002

During the summer of2002, the Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project (EMAP) conducted research in the Eastern Mimbres region. Part of this work involved excavation at Pague Well Village (LA130191), a Classic Mimbres site located on a first terrace above the Seco drainage. Pague Well village is a site with multiple roomblocks, one of which being roomblock D, located toward the northern part of the terrace. Unit 43 is among the rooms that form roomblock D. The purpose for its excavation is to provide information about land use and mobility of the former occupants of the site, and to provide a basis for regional comparisons, spatially and temporally. Unit 43 was selected for excavation because of its large size as evident on the surface, and because it is adjacent to several rooms already excavated. Therefore, Unit 43 can illuminate information on spatial organization in the roomblock, and possibly provide an understanding on household organization as well (at least architecturally).

No wall profiles were drawn.
