Abstract

Different forms of residential structures in the Jornada Mogollon region of southern New Mexico and West Texas have been considered to reflect varying degrees of residential mobility and energy investment. During the AT&T Nex/Gen Core Project, 13 pitstructures and seven possible pitstructures were discovered in the Jornada Mogollon and eastern Jornada Mogollon regions that dated from the Archaic to Formative periods. Although house size ranged from 1.5 to 5 m, an examination of the evidence for superstructure suggests that all of the residences have more in common with ethnographically reported brush houses used by the Manso, Havasupai, Maricopa, Papago, Apache, Hopi, Diegueño, and Seri, than with typical pitstructures normally associated with the Mogollon regions.
