Abstract

A new series of radiocarbon and tree-ring dates from the Mimbres area of the Mogollon region has modified the accepted chronology in the area. Recent work in the Mogollon-Mimbres area has firmly established the existence of a plain ware pit house period dated about a.d. 200–550. The dates of phases between a.d. 550–1000 have been modified, and the termination of the Classic period is dated at a.d. 1150. The Mangas phase is dropped, and it is shown that black-on-white ceramics and puebloan architecture do not appear almost simultaneously as previously believed. These changes have implications for the investigation of past settlement subsistence and social interaction patterns in southwestern New Mexico.
