Notes: Intermountain Cultural Resources Management Professional Paper No. 63, Contribution No. 11 of the Bandelier Archaeological Survey.  Archeological manifestation of the historic period at Bandelier National Monument include changes in settlement patterns and material culture in three successive waves.  The first significant economic and social change involved the introduction of large domestic mammals, including cattle, horses, and sheep…The subsequent widespread adoption of livestock prompted many people to locate their habitations on the basis of herd animal’s needs for water and shelter rather than on the basis of agricultural potential,…The next change in settlement pattern was prompted by the new transportation technologies of the railroad and the extractive economies of logging and mining in the nineteenth century…Finally, the twentieth century witnessed new technologies such as automobiles,…and the landscape became littered with discarded automobile parts.” (pages 23-24)
