Abstract

The Western Apache homeland in eastern and central Arizona is filled with domestic and ritual places, as well as named and unnamed natural places. Despite Western Apache displacement to reservations over a century ago, connections to this pre-reservation homeland remain strong in descendant communities. This paper uses archaeological survey and excavation data, ecological information, historical documents, ethnographic reports, and the accounts of tribal members to study the northern portion of the Western Apache lands between approximately A.D. 1650 and 1850. Multiple sources of information are used to interpret the late-seventeenth-century occupation at Plymouth Landing, which, in turn, is critical to understanding the archaeological signature of early Western Apache sites in this region. The different sources of information about these places, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, enrich our understanding of the past, revealing a largely intact cultural landscape in central Arizona. The project also demonstrates the value of seeking tribal participation outside of the formal consultation process.

Resumen

Resumen

La tierra natal de los apaches occidentales en el Arizona central y este está repleta tanto de sitios rituales y domésticos, como de lugares naturales con nombre y sin nombre. A pesar del desplazamiento de los Apaches occidentales a reservas hace más de un siglo, las conexiones a esta tierra natal por parte de las comunidades descendientes se mantienen fuertes. Este trabajo usa datos de prospección y excavación arqueológicos, información ecológica, documentos históricos, informes etnográficos, y narrativas hechas por miembros de estas comunidades para estudiar la parte norte de las tierras apaches occidentales entre aproximadamente 1650 y 1850 d.C. Se utilizan fuentes de información diversas para interpretar la ocupación de Plymouth Landing a finales del siglo XVII, que a su vez es clave para entender la huella arqueológica de sitios apaches occidentales tempranos en la región. Las diferentes fuentes de información acerca de estos lugares, cada una con sus puntos fuertes y débiles, enriquecen nuestra comprensión del pasado, revelando un paisaje cultural mayormente intacto en el Arizona central. El proyecto también demuestra el valor de buscar la participación de las comunidades indίgenas más allá del proceso formal de la consultoria.
