Remembered Places, Significant Spaces: Room Closure Practices in the Pueblo Southwest

March 20, 2025

• Email

Archaeological lecture by Dr. Samantha Fladd of Washington State University. In this talk, she examines two ways modifications to space can be seen in the archaeological record of the Pueblo Southwest: architectural alterations and material deposition. Drawing largely on examples from Chaco Canyon and the Homol’ovi Settlement Cluster, she utilizes detailed excavation records from the Chaco Research Archive and Homol’ovi Research Program to identify patterns of room modifications. By combining traditional architectural analyses with depositional, the full trajectory of a space, from foundation and occupation through closure, can be analyzed as it relates to constructions of identity and memory. She argues that the accumulation of practices of spatial preparation, modification, and closure speak to the identities of groups in the past
