EMAP Recording Guidelines – Survey

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.

东部明布雷斯考古项目（Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project, 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，1990年正式启动，其研究以纳尔逊此前的相关工作为基础。EMAP聚焦新墨西哥州西南部明布雷斯区域东部的公元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，她调任至纽约州立大学布法罗分校，而赫格蒙彼时任职于拉斯克鲁塞斯的新墨西哥州立大学。1995年，二人一同迁至亚利桑那州立大学，该项目目前也依托该校开展工作。

EMAP早期研究聚焦公元1150年之后的时期，具体为如今被称为后古典时期重组阶段（公元1150年—13世纪初）的考古遗存。1998年之后，项目研究转向古典时期（公元1000年—1130年）。其核心研究议题包括：重组现象的社会与生态动态、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。
