Just got back from my first-ever podcast as an interviewee. Briefly describing Mimbres cultural landscapes & pottery on behalf of the 2025 Tour of the Gila bike race, which goes thru the heart of what was Mimbres Mogollon territory from 200CE-1150CE. Hoping I made sense. #archaeology #Mimbres

Northern Lights, in Southern New Mexico. October 2024
About 1/2 hour timelapse... Called my neighbor 10 min. into it and asked them to turn off their light.

Southern New Mexico night sky. I believe the streaks of light near the end, are Starlink satellites.

Pointed the drone "top-down" near a petroglyph site (it will remain unnamed). Many grinding holes can be seen. There are thousands of sites like this in S. New Mexico.

The Mogollon of New Mexico's Mimbres region created thousands of hemispheric bowls painted with black-and-white designs on their interiors. The designs range from elegant geometric motifs to abstract humans and animals. Meaning may have dwelled in part in the domed shape of the bowls, which often were ritually punctured before they were placed over the heads of the deceased in graves. (This example comes from a non-funerary context.) Perhaps, like the modern Pueblo peoples who descend from them, the Mimbres believed that the sky is a dome pierced to allow passage between worlds, such as between the realms of the living and the dead.
