UNM Contract Archeology Excavates Mimbres Pit Houses

Pot­tery sherd from Lake Roberts Project in South­west­ern New Mexico
Beau­ti­ful vivid frag­ments of Mim­bres pot­tery, tiny
arrow­heads smaller than a fin­ger­tip, seeds and bones of ani­mals,
metates used to grind corn, rocks chipped and shaped to form the head of a hoe.
Those are some of the arti­facts UNM stu­dents work­ing for the
Divi­sion of Con­tract Arche­ol­ogy at UNM are bring­ing back
from south­west­ern New Mex­ico this summer.
