assessing the social consequences of late 13th and 14th century population movements
in Southeastern Arizona. October 2003 - December 2004 ead | | | | Date(s): | October 2003 - December 2004 | | | | Abstract: | Documentation of artifacts recovered during collection
survey at known sites in the Safford and Aravaipa Valleys of Southeastern Arizona.
Fieldwork occurred in support of dissertation research that examined population
movements from Northeastern Arizona in the late 13th and 14th centuries. This
dissertation examines an instance of population movement from northeastern Arizona
to the Safford and Aravaipa valleys of southeastern Arizona in the late thirteenth
and fourteenth centuries in order to understand the scale at which these migrations
occurred, as well as the effect these migrations had on the expression of identity
of both migrant and indigenous groups. Previous research indicated that at least one
group of migrants from the Kayenta and Tusayan areas of northeastern Arizona arrived
in the Safford Valley in the last decades of the thirteenth century. The research
presented here found that several other parties of puebloan migrants arrived in both
suprahousehold level and household level groups during the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries, first settling independently of local populations, and then intermingling
with local populations at mixed settlements. Initially, as migrant and indigenous
populations remained segregated from each other, their pre-migration identities were
maintained, and each group remained distinct. However, as these populations began to
live together at mixed settlements, they renegotiated their identities in order to
deal with the day-to-day realities of living with groups of people with whom they
had no previous experience. Through this process, migrant and indigenous groups
formed a new identity that incorporated elements of the pre-migration identities of
both groups. With these results, a model of the effects of migration on identity was
created and refined to allow the social consequences of migration to be better
understood. | | | | Repository: | Arizona State Museum | | | | Subjects: | Excavations (Archaeology)--Arizona. | Migration, Internal--Arizona. | Pueblo Indians--Migrations. | Pueblo Indians--Populations. | | | | Matches:
