This volume presents the multiyear archaeological investigations of
Cerro Juanaquena and related sites in northwestern Chihuahua,
Mexico. These remarkable terraced hilltop settlements represent a
series of watershed developments, including substantial dependence
on agriculture and early experiments with village living, fortified
settlements, collective labor, and communal architecture. Part of a
larger, regional development, they parallel changes in northern
Sonora and southern Arizona. The emergence of large fortified
agricultural villages at 1300 BC before the use of ceramics was an
unexpected discovery that changed how archaeologists view early
agriculture in this region. The authors place their work in a
regional and theoretical context, providing detailed analyses of
radiocarbon dates, structures, features, and artifacts. Authors
Hard and Roney, and their contributors, present innovative analyses
of plant and animal remains, ground stone, chipped stone, and
landscape evolution. Through comparisons with a global
cross-cultural probe of hilltop sites and a detailed examination of
the features and artifacts of Cerro Juanaquen a, Hard and Roney
argue that these cerros de trincheras sites are the earliest
fortified defensive sites in the region. Readers with interests in
ancient agriculture, warfare, village formation, and material
culture will find this to be a foundational volume.
