Zuni Salt Lake

The Pueblo of Zuni is located in west-central New Mexico and east-central Arizona, with a Reservation encompassing approximately 655 square miles. Of these 640 square miles comprise the main reservation in New Mexico, almost one square mile of land surrounds Zuni Salt Lake some 60 miles south of the main reservation, and the remaining 14 square miles of Zuni Heaven (Kolhu/wala:wa), also detached from the main reservation, are located near Saint Johns, Arizona. Zuni has a long and unique history and continues to forge its own distinctive path to link its past with its future.

Terminal Pleistocene

AbstractHereditary hierarchy is one of the major features of complex societies. Without a written record, prehistoric evidence for hereditary hierarchy is rare. Intentional cranial deformation (ICD) is a cross-generational cultural practice that embodies social identity and culture beliefs in adults through the behavior of altering infant head shape. Therefore, ICD is usually regarded as an archeological clue for the occurrence of hereditary hierarchy. With a calibrated radiocarbon age of 11245-11200 years BP, a fossil skull of an adult male displaying ICD discovered in Northeastern China is among the oldest-known ICD practices in the world. Along with the other earliest global occurrences of ICD, this discovery points to the early initiation of complex societies among the non-agricultural local societies in Northeastern Asia in the early Holocene. A population increase among previously more isolated terminal Pleistocene/early Holocene hunter-gatherer groups likely increased their interactions, possibly fueling the formation of the first complex societies.
