Students, professor
plan to excavate
ancient pueblos
By Sheryl Taylor
Reporter
This summer, a group of Texas
A&M graduate and undergraduate
students, along with an anthropol
ogy professor, will use a stream val
ley along the Mimbres River in
southwestern New Mexico as their
classroom to study the pueblo ruins
of the ancient Mimbres people.
“We have integrated our summer
archaeological field school into this
project which was started about 10
years ago,” says Harry Shafer, A&M
professor of anthropology. “The ac
tual research focuses primarily on
ancient pueblo ruins that were occu
pied by the ancient Mimbres Indians
from A.D. 700 to A.D. 1150.”
The field school allows students to
perform actual excavations and
make discoveries while learning ar
chaeological methods at the same
time.
Shafer has tried to concentrate on
one segment of the discovered
pueblo. A pueblo is a communal vil
lage built by certain southwest Indi
ans of the United States. It consists
of one or more flat-roofed struc
tures made of stone or adobe that
house a number of families.
Shafer tried to complete the pro
ject last summer, but new discoveries
were made and, as he points out, in
archaeology, the unexpected usually
occurs. He says a separate architec
tural unit consisting of a series of
rooms which constitute a pueblo by
itself was discovered. The pueblo
was not expected to exist, Shafer
says.
“We wanted to finish the project
last summer,” Shafer says, “but be
cause of our new discoveries we are
going to explore it and see what it
represents.”
Shafer says the architecture of the
discovered unit is much better than
what is normally seen, and they want
to explain why there is only one
structure built so much better than
the others.
In some areas of the southwest,
some pueblos were three and four
stories, but in the Mimbres River evi
dence shows that pueblos were
usually only one story. However, a
two-story pueblo was found in the
region where Shafer and his stu
dents were working.
“This finding was totally unheard
of in this region until now and we
want to explore and learn more
about this particular ruin,” he says.
While excavating a Mimbres’ ruin,
Shafer found skeletons showing a
high incidence of poor nutrition and
disease. The Indian children had a
high incidence of anemia and the
adults, tuberculosis.
This finding surprised Shafer and
his crew because in normal Indian
societies, agriculture was supple
mented by wild plants and game.
Wild plants provided needed vita
mins for a balanced and natural diet.
But the Mimbres Indians seem to
have relied on a corn-based diet, re
sulting in vitamin deficiency.
The Mimbres’ pottery is one of
the best material things used to iden
tify the Indians, Shafer says, but the
pottery was no longer painted after
A.D.1150.
The Mimbres disappeared from
the archaeological records around
A.D. 1150 and abandoned all their
ruins with no trace, Shafer says.
The Indians had a dual system of
religion which mixed Catholicism
with their traditional beliefs.
“The Mimbres had a beautiful
world view and their root of philoso
phy was from Eastern Asia that came
through three migrations about
12,000 years ago,” he says. “And
their theme of harmdny is with natu
re.”
During the six-week period, the
students will participate in and be
taught virtually every aspect of ar
chaeological fieldwork while earning
six hours of credit. They will learn
basic techniques, procedures and
methods involving the excavation of
the Mimbres’ ruins.
“This project is an extremely im
portant teaching facility for our stu
dents and it will help students who
want to become professionals in the
field of anthropology,” Shafer says.
Shafer emphasized that the re
search aspect of the project will en
hance the undertanding of the Mim
bres’ culture of the Southwest, as
well as Texas A&M’s position in
terms of southwestern archaeology.
Shafer is the director of the pro
ject and the only A&M faculty mem
ber involved with it besides the few
graduate students.
The Department of Anthropol
ogy sponsors the project and seeks
funding outside the University to
support research and additional
costs.
The National Geographic Society
gave a $5,000 grant for the research
and contributions from private
sources funded this summer’s pro-
ject.
The funding provides for trans
portation, food, supporting staff
(graduate students) and research
equipment.
A&M will act as curator of the re
search collection from this project.
One of Shafer’s goals is to work
with a museum to feature the Mim
bres’ artifacts with information,
which would travel around the coun
try and tell the story of the Mimbres’
culture.
“Our findings of the Mimbres’
project have a very significant im
pact on the archaeology of the
American Southwest,” Shafer says.
Former A&M student to sing
in Rudder benefit concert
By Karl Pallmeyer
Music Critic
A former Texas A&M student
who has made a name for himself in
country music will be performing a
benefit concert Thursday at 8 p.m.
in Rudder Theater.
Country singer and songwriter
Lyle Lovett, a Class of’80 journalism
graduate and Class of ’81 German
graduate, and his band will perform
songs from his best-selling album,
“Lyle Lovett.”
Lovett has agreed to pay all his ex
penses and all proceeds will go to the
Texas A&M chapter of the Ameri
can Institute of Architects and MSC
Town Hall.
Lovett’s music is representative of
the “new country” style of Dwight
Yoakum and Rodney Crowell and is
filled with such Texas regional influ-
>
ences as Townes Van Zandt, Steve
Fromholz and B.W. Stevenson.
While attending A&M, he began
playing local bars and nightclubs
and attracted the attention of the
music press across the state.
His original songs and warm sing
ing style won him a recording con
tract with MCA Records in Nash
ville. Lovett has appeared on
“Austin City Limits” and other tele
vision music programs.
Last year, Lovett released his de
but album, “Lyle Lovett,” which fea
tured the songs “This Old Porch,”
“Cowboy Man” and “Closing Time.”
The first single off the album,
“Further Down the Line,” hit the top
40 on the country music-charts.
Tickets for Lovett’s performance
are $6 and are available at the Rud
der Box Office. Call the box office at
845-1234 or MSC Town Hall at 845-
1515 for more details.
