PORTAL TO DENI SEYMOUR & MARK HARLAN ON THE WEB
Expedition, ethnographic, and research documentation, historical
documentaries, family histories, travel logs, and custom work.

Artistic and documentary photography including award-winning images
and contemporary work shown in galleries.
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.
