Although this type was initially defined in the 1930s, few researchers have discussed its temporal placement or geographic distribution. This paper documents the occurrences of over three hundred Nogales Polychrome sherds recently recovered during Proyecto Tradición Trincheras and provides a detailed attribute analysis of pottery from over twenty previously recorded sites across Sonora and Arizona. This study not only refines the temporal placement and spatial distribution of Nogales Polychrome but demonstrates that it was perhaps the earliest widely produced polychrome in the Southwest/Northwest. This paper further explores the potential influence of Nogales Polychrome on subsequent southern Arizona polychromes and how cultural developments in West Mexico around 800 CE may have prompted the initial creation of this ceramic type.Nogales Policromo fue una cerámica producida por la tradición Trincheras del norte de Sonora, México. Aunque este tipo se definió inicialmente en la década de 1930, pocos investigadores han discutido su ubicación temporal o su distribución geográfica. Este artículo documenta la presencia de más de trescientos tiestos de Nogales Policromo recuperados recientemente por el Proyecto Tradición Trincheras y proporciona un análisis detallado de sus atributos cerámicos, presentes en más de veinte sitios previamente registrados en Sonora y Arizona. Este estudio no solo destaca la ubicación temporal y la distribución espacial de Nogales Policromo, sino que demuestra que quizás fue la cerámica policroma más antigua que se produjo ampliamente en el Suroeste/Noroeste. Este artículo explora más a fondo la posible influencia de Nogales Policromo en las sucesivas cerámicas policromas del sur de Arizona y la posibilidad de que los desarrollos culturales del Occidente de México, de alrededor del año 800 d.C. pudieran haber impulsado la creación inicial de este tipo cerámico.KEYWORDS: Trincheras traditionpolychromesSonoracultural connectivity AcknowledgmentsMuch of this research was made possible through a National Science Foundation Dissertation Improvement Grant (Award Number 2131178).

George Agogino, Jim Hester, and William Roosa periodically revisited a subset of these sites during the 50s and 60s, publishing three brief articles and collecting additional artifacts. Despite the importance of these sites to the history of preceramic research in Northern New Mexico, no complete inventory or analysis of the projectile point collections has been undertaken to date. In this article, we provide: (1) a brief history of the Grants San Jose collections, (2) an inventory of diagnostic projectile points, (3) an analysis of raw materials represented and geochemical analysis of a sample of volcanic dart points, and (4) a brief discussion of the collections’ implications for the pre-ceramic archaeology of the Grants area.A fines de la década de 1930, Joseph Toulouse Jr., Kirk Bryan y Bryan McCann publicaron dos artículos que describen la arqueología y la geología de diecisiete sitios precerámicos cerca de Grants, Nuevo México.

A pesar de la importancia de estos sitios en la historia de las investigaciones precerámicas en el norte de Nuevo México, hasta la fecha no se ha realizado ningún inventario o análisis completo de las colecciones de puntas de proyectil.

Recent investigations in the region are helping to refine the chronology, geographical extension, cultural attributes, and ethnicity. With 20 radiocarbon dates, we can place this tradition as spanning from 200 BC to AD 1450. The maximum geographical extension ranges from the Middle Rio Yaqui in the north to the Rio San Lorenzo in Sinaloa. The associated sites of this complex are represented by dispersed houses, indicative of ranchería-type settlements, funerary mounds, shell middens, and petroglyph sites. At about AD 1150, Aztatlán pottery and other commodities from southern Sinaloa were incorporated mostly as mortuary offerings. We also provide evidence that the Huatabampo archaeological tradition is a local culture representing the occupation of the Cahitan-speaking groups, Yoremem/Mayos and Yoemem/Yaquis, of the coastal plain.","PeriodicalId":44778,"journal":{"name":"Kiva-Journal of Southwestern Anthropology and History","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42344549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many studies consider material culture holistically, yet network analysis has the advantage of focusing specifically on the relationships between entities. This study uses architecture, ceramic, projectile point, and site locations from the Roosevelt Platform Mound Study and combines these data in a multilayer network analysis. This analysis provides a way to test the co-variance of these types of material culture with each other and with spatial variation. Overall, the ceramic and projectile point networks exhibit significant differences. This indicates that the social networks that created these patterns had different social mechanisms. One potential cause of these differences is gendered spheres of interaction with men producing and exchanging projectile points and women producing and exchanging ceramics.","PeriodicalId":44778,"journal":{"name":"Kiva-Journal of Southwestern Anthropology and History","volume":"89 1","pages":"247 - 273"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42387123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Only three sites (Mogollon Village, SU, and Turkey Foot Ridge) have evidence of occupation in all three phases of the period.
