N1 - Funding Information:
The Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project would not have been possible without the permission and support of R. E. Turner and the Turner Foundation and the A-Spear Ranch owners. Other funding for our work was provided by our universities (New Mexico State, SUNY Buffalo, and Arizona State) and the National Geographic Society (grants 6980-01, 6612-99 and 52113-94). Analysis was partially funded by the National Science Foundation (BCS-0508001, BCS-0542044, and BCS-1113991). Ladder Ranch personnel, including Steve and Janie Dobrott and Chic Wayne, helped in innumerable ways as did Steve Northup of the A-Spear. The field and lab work was done primarily by students from the State University of New York, Buffalo; New Mexico State University; and Arizona State University. Darrell Creel, Roger Anyon, Pat Gilman, and Myles Miller answered numerous questions, especially regarding the Mimbres Valley sites. Sarah Klassen organized the work to put EMAP data on the Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR). Three reviewers provided constructive comments that added important detail. Oralia Cabrera Cortés translated the abstract into Spanish.

N2 - Classic Mimbres (ca. AD 1010-mid 1100s) archaeology from the eastern Mimbres area is summarized in comparison to the Mimbres Valley. Focus is on material from sites excavated by the Eastern Mimbres Archaeological Project, including Avilas Canyon, Flying Fish, and Pague Well, and also the Berrenda Creek site. The eastern Mimbres is definitively part of the Mimbres tradition, although there is variability that patterns spatially. Analyses reveal differences between sites and subregions. Intersite differences include groundstone in walls, adobe collars on hearths, and square partitions in corners of rooms. In comparison to the Mimbres Valley, the eastern Mimbres has less intensive settlement, and less evidence of ritual, though clear continuity between the Classic and subsequent Postclassic. These different characteristics are attributed to different social practices, including land tenure systems which engender social inequality that were present in the Mimbres Valley but not the eastern Mimbres.
