"From June 1983 until April 1, 1984, the Socorro Resource Area in the Las Cruces District of the Bureau of Land Management conducted an archeological survey and reconnaissance within the San Augustine Coal Area (SACA) in west-central New Mexico. The work was done in conjunction with analyses of the impacts that would occur as a result of the selection of alternatives for public lands that would be acceptable for inclusion in the federal coal leasing program. This report describes the cultural and historical resources lying primarily within three cultural resource inventory areas within SACA. A total of 303 archeological and historical site proveniences reflecting a very intensive and complex history of use of the region were recorded"--Page vi.

In the early 1970s, understanding of the Mimbres region as a whole was in its infancy. In the following decades, thanks to dedicated work by enterprising archaeologists and nonprofit organizations, our understanding of the Mimbres region has become more complex, nuanced, and rich. New Perspectives on Mimbres Archaeology brings together these experts in a single volume for the first time. The contributors discuss current knowledge of the people who lived in the Mimbres region of the southwestern United States and how our knowledge has changed since the Mimbres Foundation, directed by Steven A. LeBlanc, began the first modern archaeological investigations in the region. Many of these authors have spent decades conducting the fieldwork that has allowed for a broader understanding of Mimbres society. Focusing on a variety of important research topics of interest to archaeologists—including the social contexts of people and communities, the role of ritual and ideology in Mimbres society, evidence of continuities and cultural change through time, and the varying impacts of external influences throughout the region—New Perspectives on Mimbres Archaeology presents recent data on and interpretations of the entire pre-Hispanic sequence of occupation. Additional contributions include a history of nonprofit archaeology by William H. Doelle and a concluding chapter by Steven A. LeBlanc reflecting on his decades-long work in Mimbres archaeology and outlining important areas for the next wave of research.
