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.

This preying mantis lives at Jamestown, Virginia.

Bug doctor Bob Stoltz says this is probably the
Chinese mantis, Tendora, aridifolia sinensis.
