The Northeastern Trans-Pecos region of Texas is an unforgiving
environment for anyone living off the land, yet nomadic hunters and
gatherers roamed its deserts and mountains and sheltered in caves
and sinkholes from around AD 200 to 1450. This book provides
detailed insights into the lifeways of these little-known
prehistoric peoples. It places their occupation of the region in a
wider temporal and cultural framework through a comprehensive
description and analysis of the archaeological remains excavated by
Donny L. Hamilton at Granado Cave in 1978. Hamilton begins with a
brief overview of the geology and environment of the Granado Cave
area and reviews previous archaeological investigations. Then he
and other researchers present detailed analyses of the burials and
other material remains found in the cave, as well as the results of
radiocarbon dating. From these findings, he reconstructs the
subsistence patterns and burial practices of these Native
Americans, whom he identifies as a distinct group that was pushed
into the environment by surrounding peoples. He proposes that they
should be represented by a new archaeological phase, thus helping
to clarify the poorly understood late prehistory of the
Trans-Pecos.
