Face-to-Face with the Dead: The Mimbres Bowl as Mask
Between about 1000 and 1130 CE, potters in the Mimbres branch of the Mogollon tradition produced some of the most analytically rich pictorial ceramics in the pre-Hispanic Americas.

Lovely. When I see potsherds I think of:
Malazan: Book of the Fallen (author always mentions them)
the Mimbres people of the Mogollón
but of course, potsherds are most everywhere. <3

Depends upon the culture the artifacts come from. For example, some modern Indigenous groups in the US Southwest object to the creation or display of any copies/reproductions of certain Mimbres-Mogollon artifacts despite Mimbres-Mogollon not being part of their own culture or traditions.

Just got back from my first-ever podcast as an interviewee. Briefly describing Mimbres cultural landscapes & pottery on behalf of the 2025 Tour of the Gila bike race, which goes thru the heart of what was Mimbres Mogollon territory from 200CE-1150CE. Hoping I made sense. #archaeology #Mimbres

how does one repatriate remains/artifacts of a culture that no longer exists? The Mimbres-Mogollon culture left no direct descendants but 18 federally recognized tribal groups with little to no cultural connection each claim 100% ownership of the artifacts/remains. Who decides who gets what?/fin

Mimbres Culture Heritage Site. Grant County NM.
Throughout southwestern New Mexico is extensive archaeological evidence of a culture that spans over 1000 years of activity. We don't know who these people were or who their descendants might be. It was clearly part of the Mogollon Culture.

Another fine day in New Mexico. The small town of Mimbres, NM is #1. Mibres is near Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument which preserves ancient Mogollon cliff dwellings that date back to the late 1200s.

Thanks for finding that so fast, James. Galaz is the only site on the list in Mimbres-Mogollon territory but it's one of the larger Mimbres sites & with a long time span. I'll be.

Haven't heard of any yaupon residue being found in any Mimbres-Mogollon vessels, dunno abt the rest of the US SW. Good residue evidence for Mimbreno beer tho, fermenting corn or wild grape in lg. brewing vessels made & carried from ~150 mi. S in what's now Mexico. So there was that kind of exchange!

I'd go with exchange of ideas just bc I'm unaware of any evidence of Mimbres-Mogollon human migration further eastward than the Rio Grande Valley in NM. Neck-banded corrugation is a pretty cool technological innovation, archaic folks would have certainly chatted about it & showed it off.

Mimbres-Mogollon corrugated pottery 500-1150 CE included neck-banded cooking vessels that look similar in design to that jar. Experiments found neck banded corrugation to be a temperature control for long-simmered food like corn or beans; prevented contents from boiling over. #ceramics #archaeology

Archaeological research suggests that the Gila Cliff Dwellings were constructed between 1276-1287 for 8-10 families that moved in as a group.

Las Uvas Mountains. There are a number of petroglyph sites in the area, including this one in a pile of boulders next to a tank. Styles are a mixture of Jornada Mogollon, Apache and Mimbres, and date from 600-1000 AD.

So I looked up the Mogollon-Mimbres people to see where and when they lived
The wikipedia article used the term "archaeological culture" which sounds like they were not a culture as we normally understand it
Can you explain what an archaeological culture is and why it's different to a culture?

The Mimbres "Mimbreno," aka willow people, thrived in the river valleys in and around present-day Silver City between 900 – 1100 A.D. There are numerous archaeological sites in the area. The Mimbres are a sub-group within the Mogollon cultural tradition found in southern New Mexico.

Exploring in s. New Mexico, we often come upon these strange robot-looking figures. Archeologists believe they represent the rain god Tlaloc, a deity from the Aztec culture that was adopted by the Mogollon. Usually they are squarish in the Rio Grande Valley but seem rounded farther from the river?
