This portion of this web site
provides a summary of current
research on the Spanish colonial
period, on early expeditions into
the region, and on the native
inhabitants of the American
Southwest from the terminal
prehistoric period forward, during a
time commonly referred to as the
protohistoric. Included are
discussions of the Sobaipuri (Upper
Pima or O'odham), the Apache, and
non-Apache mobile groups, such as
the Jano and Jocome. The Salinas
Pueblos and Galisteo Basin
Pueblos are also discussed with
reference to mobile groups, and the
Jumano and Teya. These
easternmost pueblos fall along the
edge of the Southwest as does the
area in southeastern New Mexico
where additional studies are taking
place.
Other material culture studies
focus on the methodological
implications of typologies and
seek alternative approaches to
understanding material culture
variation.
