Broken K Pueblo: Prehistoric Social Organization in the American Southwest

This report presents an analysis of a prehistoric Pueblo community in structural, functional, and evolutionary terms; it is a sequel to William A. Longacre's Archaeology as Anthropology. The emphasis is on social organization (including the patterning of community activities) and on understanding changes in this organization in terms of adaptive responses to a shifting environment.List of Illustrations / List of Tables / Preface / Abstract / Introduction / The Environmental Setting / The Site / Theoretical Considerations / Methodological Considerations / Factor Analyses / Intra-site Dating / Room Types / Room Functions / Social Groups / Population Size and Social Groups / Burials / Environmental Shift / Responses to a Shifting Environment / Alternatives to a Shifting Environment / After Broken K / Summary and Conclusions / Animal Bone Counts From Broken K Pueblo / Plant Remains Found at Broken K, and Their Uses Among Modern Hopi and Zuni / Seeds From Broken K Pueblo / Pollen Counts, in Numbers of Grains, From Floors and Features at Broken K Pueblo / Distributions of Pottery-type and Ceramic Design-element Factors Not Illustrated in Text / Distribution of Pottery Types (Sherd Counts) on Floors / Distribution of Ceramic Design Elements From Floors / Distribution of Ceramic Design Elements From Fills / ReferencesThis title from the Anthropological Papers of the University of Arizona collection is made available by the University of Arizona Press and University of Arizona Libraries.
