Description: "In 1980, archaeologists began a tradition of convening every two years to discuss current issues and present field reports in Mogollon archaeology. The Ninth Mogollon Conference was held at Western New Mexico University Museum in Silver City in October 1996. In this volume are 25 papers that were presented at the ninth conference. The papers give a glimpse into the range and depth of contemporary Mogollon archaeology.

They represent the Mimbres region, other regions of New Mexico, southeastern Arizona, Chihuahua, and east-central Arizona. The topics are equally diverse. Authors address gender and division of labor, social organization and heterarchy, ceramic microseriation, use of sophisticated computer mapping techniques, ritual space, development of Formative stage culture, mortuary patterns, interpretations of Mimbres ceramic art, and many more issues."--BOOK JACKET.
