Notes:  Papers of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology Volume 83.  “The McAnally and Thompson sites are two prehistoric villages located along the Rio Mimbres in the heart of the Upland Mogollon region of the North American Southwest.  As Early Pithouse period villages, these sites contain architecture, artifacts, and detritus of the earliest relatively sedentary horticulturists to occupy the region.  The lifeways of these people–their subsistence practices, including foraging and growing crops, their knowledge of construction and of the manufacture of stone tools and pots, and their rules for social interaction–provided the foundation for nine centuries of continuous occupation and use of the Mimbres Mogollon area.”  (From the Introduction)
