Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that bow and arrow technology entered the Southwest earlier than previously thought, perhaps in the early centuries B.C. Our investigations at two upland Pithouse period sites in the Mimbres Mogollon region point to a later introduction of this technology into this area, ca A.D. 500. Our data also document a period of co-occurrence of arrow and dart points, indicating a gradual rather than abrupt transition to the exclusive use of the bow and arrow. We present the results of our study and discuss its implications for evaluating Pithouse period subsistence and technological change.
