Anderson - LA37690 Unit 102

This site was excavated prior to the Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project, co-directed by Drs. Margaret Nelson and Michelle Hegmon that began in 1993. 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.该遗址的发掘工作早于1993年启动的东明布雷斯考古项目（Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project，以下简称EMAP），该项目由玛格丽特·纳尔逊（Margaret Nelson）博士与米歇尔·黑格尔蒙（Michelle Hegmon）博士联合主持。EMAP的研究聚焦于新墨西哥州西南部明布雷斯区域东部片区公元1000年之后的晚期史前史。1982年，纳尔逊博士任职于阿尔伯克基的新墨西哥大学；20世纪90年代初，她任教于布法罗的纽约州立大学，而黑格尔蒙博士则任职于拉斯克鲁塞斯的新墨西哥州立大学。1995年，二人双双调任至亚利桑那州立大学，该项目目前亦依托该校开展研究。EMAP早期研究聚焦于公元1150年之后的时段，具体为如今被称为后古典时期（Postclassic period）‘重组阶段（Reorganization phase）’（公元1150年—1200年代初期）的考古遗存。1998年之后，项目转向研究古典时期（Classic period，公元1000年—1130年）。该项目的核心研究议题包括：社会与生态重组动态、农耕群体的居住流动性、环境影响与可持续农耕实践、陶器生产与交换，以及社区组织模式。
