Dating the late 1000s to the mid-1200s CE, petroglyphs of sandal images are among others that distinguish ancient Pueblo rock art in the San Juan and Little Colorado River drainages on the Colorado Plateau from Ancestral Pueblo rock art elsewhere across the Southwest. The sandal “track” also has counterparts as effigies in stone and wood often found in ceremonial contexts in Pueblo sites. These representations reflect the sandal styles of the times, both plain in contour and the jog-toed variety, the latter characterized by a projection where the little toe is positioned. These representations are both plain and patterned, as are their material sandal counterparts. Their significance as symbolic icons is their dominant aspect, and a ritual meaning is implicit. As a component of a symbol system that was radically altered after 1300 CE, however, there is no ethnographic information that provides clues as to the sandal icon’s meaning. While there is no significant pattern of its associations with other symbolic content in the petroglyph panels, in some western San Juan sites cases a relationship to the hunt can be inferred. It is suggested that the track itself could refer to a deity, a mythological hero, or the carver ’s social identity. In conclusion, however, no clear meaning of the images themselves is forthcoming, and further research beckons.

Mesa Verde Region

Archaeologists in the Mesa Verde region of the American Southwest have long sought the catalysts of the complete depopulation of the region by Pueblo farmers in the late thirteenth century. Ten years of excavations by the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center at Sand Canyon Pueblo, a large village that was occupied from approximately A.D. 1250 to 1280, yielded abundant data regarding the depopulation of the village and shed new light on causes of this intriguing regional emigration. Comparative analyses of faunal and archaeobotanical remains from middens vs. abandonment assemblages reveal a shift from farming to hunting and gathering that coincided with the onset of the Great Drought about A.D. 1276. Osteological and taphonomic analyses of human remains found in abandonment contexts reveal details of an attack during which many residents were killed and that ended the occupation of the village. These findings from Sand Canyon Pueblo suggest that climate-induced food stress and consequent violent conflict contributed to the depopulation of the Mesa Verde region in the late A.D. 1200s.

El objetivo fue estudiar la variabilidad genética de características morfológicas de maíces nativos en la Península de Yucatán (PY), México. Se utilizaron trece accesiones de maíz nativo reconocidas con el nombre de Naál Xóy, Xnúc Naál Blanco, Gallito Amarillo, Dzit Bacal, Mejeén Naál, Rosa San Juan, Cháck-Chóp, Teél Cháck, Sáck Teél, San Pableño, Ejú-Criollo Morado, Xmején Naál Tsitbacal y Clavo Chiapaneco. Los materiales se establecieron en Junio de 2017 y 2018, en Poxyaxum, Campeche, México, (19° 41´58.4´´ N, 90° 21´03.6´´ W y 30 msnm) bajo un diseño de bloques completos al azar con tres repeticiones. Los resultados revelaron diferencias (P£0.05) en las variables morfológicas evaluadas: número de días a floración masculina (FM) y femenina (FF) presento una inestabilidad de 12 días a FM y FF, con Naál Xóy y Ejú-Criollo Morado, y 15 días a madurez fisiológica con Clavo Chiapaneco. Una diferenciación de 98 y 126 cm en altura de mazorca y planta con Eju-Criollo Morado; 6 y 1.1 cm en longitud y diámetro de mazorca con Xnúc Naál Blanco y Cháck-Chóp, y Gallito Amarillo. Una variación de 4 hileras con Teél Cháck y 17 granos por hilera con San Pableño; 11 y 74 gr en peso de 100 granos (Xmején Naál Tsitbacal, Rosa San Juan y San Pableño) y granos por mazorca (Naál Xóy); y una diferencia mayor en rendimiento con Naál Xóy y Dzit Bacal de 3105 kg.ha-1.

Summary Three cists were discovered during the rebuilding of a house in Tayvallich. They appear to have been inserted into a roughly oval pit. All three cists contained cremated human remains and Cist 3 also contained a food vessel with beaker affinities. Lithics from among the cairn material appear to be a redeposited Mesolithic assemblage.
