Abstract
Research on the Pueblo culture settlement system from the North American Southwest - results of the Sand Canyon-Castle Rock Community Archaeological Project
Highlights
The North American Southwest is characterized by a large number of pre-Columbian settlements scattered across the area and is generally one of the most archaeologically examined regions in the United States
The project focuses on analysis and reconstruction of the settlement structure and socio-cultural changes that took place in Pueblo culture during the thirteenth century A.D. in Sand Canyon, Rock Creek Canyon and several other small canyons located in one subarea within the Mesa Verde region, Colorado
Reconstructing Native American cultures from the North American Southwest owes much of its successful progress to the collaboration of researchers from different disciplines, mainly archaeology, ethnohistory, cultural anthropology, sociology, linguistics, and dendrochronology, as well as other sciences, and even hydrology, mathematics and computer sciences
