Gila Cliff Dwellings: short occupation and longer regional histories

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

NPS dates the main cliff-dwelling use to the later thirteenth century within a much longer regional history. The heritage account describes crops alongside hunting, gathering and fiber work, not a strict farmer-forager divide.

Cliff-household and regional farming context Main cliff construction late 1270s–around 1300 CE; earlier regional use distinguished Masonry, timber dates, food plants, textiles and comparative material classifications Silver City, New Mexico, United States (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, farming, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting or travel permission is implied.

Connexions de plateaux, fluviales, désertiques et fronterizas

Silver City, New Mexico, United States is a modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Households combined cultivation with hunting, gathering and craft; no single ethnic government follows from Tularosa pottery.

Organisation politique et échelle communautaire

Households combined cultivation with hunting, gathering and craft; no single ethnic government follows from Tularosa pottery. A timber cutting date is not every room's construction date, and a short cliff occupation is not disappearance of a people.

Transformation ultérieure, patrimoine vivant et réception moderne

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Mogollon and Tularosa are archaeological classifications, not one recorded self-designation or proof of every resident's language. Later colonial, research and stewardship events are dated separately from the main archaeological context.

Short building interval NPS dates the main cliff-dwelling use to the later thirteenth century within a much longer regional history.

Séquence historique

Uma cronologia breve e documentada

Ces repères servent d'orientation et ne constituent pas une histoire complète.

  1. Longer landscape use

    NPS distinguishes earlier activity from the particular surviving cliff buildings.

    [S1]

  2. A sampled date

    A reported cutting date informs construction research but does not date every wall or first human presence.

    [S1]

  3. Main cliff households

    The heritage synthesis places construction and occupation within a comparatively short interval.

    [S2]

  4. Modern monument

    Designation begins a preservation history, not Indigenous presence.
