Notes: A volume to celebrate the work of the Mimbres Foundation over 40 years.  “….current data and interpretations of the Mimbres region’s prehistoric occupations.  In this sense, much like the Mimbres Foundation’s work, it builds on and moves beyond a focus on ceramics and pueblos to encompass studies of the Archaic, Pithouse, Classic, and Postclassic occupations….the range of material culture variability  present in the Mimbres region, documenting continuities and breaks in behavior and material culture over time as groups committed to agriculture, became increasingly sedentary, and developed distinct and sometimes disparate social groupings and ritual practices that played key roles in the development of societal structures over three millennia.” (From the Introduction).  Big thanks to Steven LeBlanc, the founder of the Mimbres Foundation.
