EMAP - C14 Results

EMAP - C14 Results. The Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project, co-directed by Drs. Margaret Nelson and Michelle Hegmon began in 1993, 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 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.

EMAP——碳十四（Carbon-14）测年结果。东明布雷斯考古项目（Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project，简称EMAP）由玛格丽特·纳尔逊（Margaret Nelson）博士与米歇尔·赫格蒙（Michelle Hegmon）博士联合主持，于1993年启动，其研究以纳尔逊此前开展的相关工作为基础。该项目聚焦新墨西哥州西南部明布雷斯区域下属的东明布雷斯片区公元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，二人一同迁至亚利桑那州立大学，该项目如今也依托该机构开展研究。EMAP早期的研究聚焦于公元1150年之后的时段，具体为后古典时期如今所称的重组阶段（公元1150年—13世纪早期）。1998年之后，项目的研究重心转向古典时期（公元1000年—1130年）。核心研究议题涵盖重组进程中的社会与生态动态、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。
