NMAC Fall Conference

Highly mobile indigenous groups were present in New Mexico during the terminal
prehistoric and early Spanish periods. These include various Apache, Ute, Jano,
Jocome, Manso, and Suma groups, as well as others. Settlements and material
culture associated with these groups left slight traces on the landscape that have
often been overlooked or incorrectly categorized. Efforts over the past decade have
honed in on these signatures. Sites of this period can now be routinely recognized.
Learn their archaeological signatures.

Conference themes will include:

--Identifying Late Mobile Groups: Recognizing the Material Culture Signature

--Chronometric Dating and Sampling Late Mobile Groups

--Archaeological Use of the Documentary, Ethnographic, and Oral Historic Records

--Beyond Binford: Mobility Method and Theory for the 21st Century
