Archeology of the lower Mimbres valley, New Mexico

"Archeology of the Lower Mimbres Valley, New Mexico" by Jesse Walter Fewkes is a detailed exploration into the world of a forgotten people who once called the Mimbres Valley home. The work highlights a pressing need to understand their customs and architecture, in a part of the world where archaeological riches are slowly being plundered by collectors. Through the lens of a 1914 expedition, the story paints a picture of a people defined by their symbolic pottery and burial practices, offering a fresh perspective on their unique identity in the American Southwest, where their architectural remains set them apart from other cultures.

Jesse Walter Fewkes was an American anthropologist, archaeologist, writer, and naturalist.
