Summary:The Shumway Archaeological Research Project is a multi-year project that investigates late prehistoric Pueblo communities at the northern edge of the Silver Creek drainage in east-central Arizona. By the 14th century, Pueblo peoples occupied a handful of large masonry pueblos in the area. Shumway Ruin is among the largest of these villages and one of the few sites not destroyed by pot-hunters in the past century. Reconnaissance and excavation at the area will clarify the role of migration and population movement during the early Pueblo IV period (AD 1300-1400) as well as address larger issues of Western Pueblo culture in the region prior to European contact. Recent fieldwork yielded the first formal map of the village; it shows that the village was composed of several contiguous room blocks built around two major plazas and a smaller plaza or possible great kiva. Shumway Ruin was a possible producer of iconographic-style red ware pottery.
