This portion of this web site provides
a summary of current research on the
Spanish colonial period, on early
expeditions into the region, and on
the native inhabitants of the
American Southwest from the
terminal prehistoric period forward,
during a time commonly referred to
as the protohistoric. Included are
discussions of the Sobaipuri (Upper
Pima or O'odham), the Apache, and
non-Apache mobile groups, such as
the Jano and Jocome. The Salinas
Pueblos and Galisteo Basin Pueblos
are also discussed with reference to
mobile groups, and the Jumano and
Teya. These easternmost pueblos fall
along the edge of the Southwest as
does the area in southeastern New
Mexico where additional studies are
taking place.

Other material culture studies focus
on the methodological implications
of typologies and seek alternative
approaches to understanding
material culture variation.

Book Description: This book is the only modern in-depth archaeological
account of the people Father Kino encountered in southern Arizona. Using
archaeological, documentary, and ethnographic data resulting from over 25
years of research Dr Seymour provides an entirely new perspective on the
Sobaipuri-O'odham, exposing many common fallacies presented by use of the
historic record alone. Content also has relevance to method and theory in
historical archaeology.

REVIEW: Southwest Books of the Year, Notable mention:

If we had a category for top archaeological book, Deni Seymour would take
my vote this year. Where Earth and Sky Are Sewn Together is a seminal,
ground-breaking analysis of those O�odham who once lived in the vicinity of
Tucson and were a major community when the first Spaniards arrived. The
Sobaipuri O�odham may be the most interesting and important Arizona tribe
you�ve never heard of. Their identity and history have long puzzled
archaeologists and historians, and from her life-long research, Seymour
offers many answers in this well-reasoned, strongly documented book that
even avid non-professionals can enjoy. [Bill Broyles]
