“…Previous biodistance analyses also indicate phenetic similarity between Pottery Mound and the MRG (e.g., Mackey 1980; O'Donnell and Ragsdale 2017:524; Schillaci et al 2001; Schorsch 1962; Figure 2). Additionally, Hays-Gilpin and colleagues (2019) propose a model for movement between pueblos not necessarily involving residential migration. Instead, they suggest sodality “diffusion.” In this scenario, ritual practitioners were sent to different communities for sodality initiation, and later, they returned home to deliver new rituals to their own community.…”

“…Mythical imagery that includes depictions of horned serpents (Phillips et al 2006; Schaafsma 2007; Taube 1986) and Katsina deities associated with phenomena such as rain, earth, and maize (Schaafsma 2009) is also present. The Katsina religion is practiced by contemporary Western Pueblos, which include Hopi, Zuni, Acoma, and Laguna (Raat 2012; see Hays-Gilpin et al [2019] for discussion of Katsina religion at Laguna). It does not appear to have been practiced by Tiwa speaking groups in the MRG (Raat 2012).…”

Trade Relationships and Gene Flow at Pottery Mound Pueblo, New Mexico

2020

Pottery Mound is a large Ancestral Puebloan site situated within the Middle Rio Grande (MRG) region of New Mexico. This article adds to our understanding of relationships between Pottery Mound, the Western Pueblos, and Mexico through use of biological distance analysis based on dental nonmetric traits. Extensive material and cultural influences, as well as migration events from Western Pueblos to Pottery Mound, have been proposed by several scholars, while others have highlighted parallels to Mexico, especially Paquimé. A total of 1,528 individuals from the U.S. Southwest and Mexico were used to examine relationships between Pottery Mound and these areas. We find no evidence of close biological similarity between Pottery Mound and the Western Pueblos or northern Mexico. Instead, the results indicate biological affinity between Pottery Mound and sites in the MRG region and Mogollon areas. This similarity suggests that although there is evidence for trade between Pottery Mound and other sites in the southwestern United States and Mesoamerica, trade may not have been accompanied by significant gene flow from those areas from which the trade goods originated. It is possible that neighboring regions, such as the Mogollon, served as intermediaries for trade between Pottery Mound and distant regions.
