Speaker: Barbara Roth, Ph.D.

In the eighth installment of the weekly Proseminar Series, hosted by the Department of Anthropology, Professor Roth will be discussing the Mimbres Elk Ridge Community

Elk Ridge was the largest pueblo in the northern portion of the Mimbres River Valley of southwestern New Mexico during the Classic Mimbres pueblo period (AD 1000-1130). Recent excavations at this site, combined with survey data, indicate that it was part of a thriving community. With social ties to other nearby pueblos and likely served as the ritual and perhaps economic hub for these smaller pueblos.

In this presentation, Roth will utilize data from her fieldwork at Elk Ridge and surrounding sites to discuss the community and its role in Mimbres society.
