Sus Eckert-Community Landscapes, Community Identity: Ancestral Pueblos of the Lion Mountain Area
This lecture is part of the Arizona Archaelogical and Historical Socety monthly lectures. Recorded September 16th, 2024.
The Lion Mountain area is located at the boundaries of three cultural traditions: the Rio Grande region, the Cibola region, and the Mogollon region. Over time, residents of the region built a Chaco Great House, constructed several post-Chacoan great houses, and witnessed the arrival of immigrants from the Four Corners region. Steve Lekson aptly described this area as one with a “mixed but interesting cultural-historical dynamic.” Understanding this dynamic has been the focus of the Lion Mountain Archaeological Project (LMAP) since 2015. In this presentation, I will discuss how our nearly 10 years of research in the region has informed on 300 years of Ancestral Pueblo traditions.
Suzanne L. Eckert is the Head of Collections at the Arizona State Museum. She earned her doctorate in 2003 from the Department of Anthropology, Arizona State University. Dr. Eckert’s research focuses on how late Ancestral Pueblo cultures organized ceramic technology. She is especially interested in how this technology integrated with other aspects of society, including migration, political and social organization, religious practice and ideology, and gender and ethnic relations.

    Now that it's been proven beyond any shadow of doubt that the Clovis first hypothesis, which infected the field of archeology as an entrenched dogmatic belief that stifled our understanding of the peopling of the Americas for more than half a century WAS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY WRONG, I wonder if Mr Haynes has any feelings of guilt for his aggressive attacks on the good work of archeologists such as Jacques Cinq-Mars at the Blue Fish Caves sight and Tom Dillehay at Monte Verde? I know I would feel bad if I'd ever maliciously attacked people and ruined their carriers just to protect my own theory, only later to discover I had been wrong all along.

    The key doors are where you arrive at the pueblo you look at older pictures of the natives today you will see them using yokes to carry there burdens, they mite have used yokes back then. The key doors would have allowed them to pass through with out having to drop there burden out side. then they would brake down there load to the separate houses, and pay there tribute to the leader.

    phono stones are more common than you know especially in certain basalt rock jumbles, the less and smallest contact points to other stones in the pile the louder and clearer the note of ring. 50+ some years ago i used to look for these musical stones, often finding petroglyphs on or nearby There is a basalt pile west of wickeburg Az on Maverick creek if i remember, that jumble has stones with every note on the musical scale I think the chime's sound is literally baked in, depends alot on the cooling time of the lava Like the differences between basic pottery, china and fine porceline and glass..other stones with a ring can be found on desert pavement surfaces long baked in the sun for thousands of years, Death Valley and Inyo county in Ca has an abundance of volcanic phonostone as well as the chimes found on desert pavement.

    Just came across your video. I wanted to share with you a site not far from there in a wash called Davidson east of Tucson, I found a Sandia point. I found it in two pieces. The first piece I threw in a container for broken arrowheads and sat there for at least two years. I found the other half on another trip, I superglued it together and a perfect fit. Not knowing what it was at the time I sold it at my garage sale for .50 cents. This was in 1969.

    The relationship between Ancestral Puebloans and Paquimé can be strengthened by the significance of parrots and turkeys in both societies. Parrots especially are found only in Southern America and had to have been traded between the two sites. Pueblo oral histories explain the origin of the significance of the parrot, and the people who returned with them. Parrots still hold great symbolic value in today’s Pueblo culture.
