Abstract
ABSTRACTThe validity of the Mangas phase, a stage of small masonry units transitional between Three Circle phase pit houses and large Mimbres phase pueblos, has been questioned by several archaeologists associated with the Mimbres Foundation. This paper presents evidence for the existence of such a stage in the Gila Valley of southwestern New Mexico and perhaps in the Mimbres Valley as well. The recognition of the archaeological pattern referred to as the Mangas phase allows several alternative interpretations of Mimbres archaeology.
