Chuck Adams-Deposits and the Stories They Tell at Homol’ovi I a 14th-century Ancestral Hopi Pueblo
Since the 1980s, many archaeologists have thought of objects/artifacts as having social lives meaning they have important roles in human activities that can change through their existence. The same is true for structures. Importantly, these lives do not end when an object is “discarded”, or a room is no longer used. They simply enter a new chapter, what we call the archaeological record. To interpret and understand this new social role, we need to examine the context of the object - with what other objects are they associated, what is the nature of the deposit within which they lie, what lies above and below them, where are they situated in the room or, for that matter, the village, and how was the room used before and during deposition?
To evaluate the value of this approach, an examination of deposits and objects within excavated rooms at Homol’ovi I, a fourteenth-century ancestral Hopi village having 1100 rooms, was conducted. Complex interactions between these “abandoned” spaces and nearby occupants were identified that reveal their continued active social roles with nearby households and the community at large. These interactions involve cultural deposition, often including ash, and rare or unusual objects, sometimes over the course of decades. Comparisons among rooms reveal that differences in intensity and types of objects and cultural deposition are patterned and likely related to the social roles and status of the occupants who used and filled these rooms.

    Now that it's been proven beyond any shadow of doubt that the Clovis first hypothesis, which infected the field of archeology as an entrenched dogmatic belief that stifled our understanding of the peopling of the Americas for more than half a century WAS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY WRONG, I wonder if Mr Haynes has any feelings of guilt for his aggressive attacks on the good work of archeologists such as Jacques Cinq-Mars at the Blue Fish Caves sight and Tom Dillehay at Monte Verde? I know I would feel bad if I'd ever maliciously attacked people and ruined their carriers just to protect my own theory, only later to discover I had been wrong all along.

    The key doors are where you arrive at the pueblo you look at older pictures of the natives today you will see them using yokes to carry there burdens, they mite have used yokes back then. The key doors would have allowed them to pass through with out having to drop there burden out side. then they would brake down there load to the separate houses, and pay there tribute to the leader.

    phono stones are more common than you know especially in certain basalt rock jumbles, the less and smallest contact points to other stones in the pile the louder and clearer the note of ring. 50+ some years ago i used to look for these musical stones, often finding petroglyphs on or nearby There is a basalt pile west of wickeburg Az on Maverick creek if i remember, that jumble has stones with every note on the musical scale I think the chime's sound is literally baked in, depends alot on the cooling time of the lava Like the differences between basic pottery, china and fine porceline and glass..other stones with a ring can be found on desert pavement surfaces long baked in the sun for thousands of years, Death Valley and Inyo county in Ca has an abundance of volcanic phonostone as well as the chimes found on desert pavement.
