Abstract
Coincident with a period of extensive drought and the depopulation of the long-inhabited northern regions of the Colorado Plateau, Western Puebloan populations coalesced into a number of nucleated settlements in the late A.D. 1200s. These settlements occur in relatively discrete clusters along the major drainages of the southern Colorado Plateau and in the mountain areas below the Mogollon Rim (see fig. 1.2). The Pueblo IV period (A.D. 1275–1400) is intriguing because it provides a unique opportunity to investigate the social implications of major settlement transitions and because it provides a glimpse into the important process of Puebloan ethnogenesis.
