Mogollon. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La région des Mogollons (en vert). Elle est voisine des cultures Hohokam (en violet) et Anasazi (en orange). Les trois sites archéologiques les plus importants de cette région sont Mesa Verde (1), Chaco Canyon (2) et Gila Cliff (3). Mogollon (prononciation : « mogoïonne ») est le nom qui a été donné à l'époque contemporaine à une culture amérindienne qui s'est développée entre le IIe et le XVe siècle dans les actuels États d'Arizona, du Nouveau-Mexique (situés au sud-ouest des États-Unis), de Chihuahua et de Sonora (situés au nord-ouest du Mexique). Elle présente des similitudes avec certaines autres cultures d'Oasisamérique comme celles des Hohokams et des Anasazis, qui en étaient contemporaines. Les raisons de sa disparition sont obscures. Culture[modifier | modifier le code] Les Mogollons vivaient sur un territoire immense ; par conséquent, ils subissaient des contraintes naturelles très différentes.

Mimbres pot with geometric design Mimbres pictorial pot, depicting a mythical fish The Mogollon /mʌɡɨˈjoʊn, moʊ-/[1] is one of the four major archaeological Prehistoric Southwestern Cultural Divisions of the American Southwest and Northern Mexico. The American Indian culture known as the Mogollon lived in the southwest from approximately AD 150 until sometime between AD 1400 and AD 1450. The name Mogollon comes from the Mogollon Mountains, which were named after Don Juan Ignacio Flores Mogollón, Spanish Governor of New Mexico from 1712-1715. Cultural history[edit] Mogollon origins remain a matter of speculation. Research on Mogollon culture has led to the recognition of regional variants, of which the most widely recognized in popular media is the "Mimbres culture" (Mimbres Mogollon branch). Food procurement practices and settlement organization[edit] The Mogollon were, initially, foragers who augmented their subsistence efforts by farming.

Mimbres branch[edit] Mimbres pottery[edit] Mogollon, Nouveau-Mexique. Mogollon, also called the Mogollon Historic District, is a former mining town located in the Mogollon Mountains in Catron County, New Mexico, in the United States. Located east of Glenwood and Alma, it was founded in the 1880s at the bottom of Silver Creek Canyon to support the gold and silver mines in the surrounding mountains. A mine called "Little Fannie" became the most important source of employment for the town's populus.

During the 1890s Mogollon had a transient population of between 3,000 to 6,000 miners and, because of its isolation, had a reputation as one of the wildest mining towns in the West.[2][3] Today Mogollon is listed as Fannie Hill Mill and Company Town Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.[4] History[edit] Old mine cars, Mogollon Little Fanny was an extremely dusty mine. By 1915, payroll in Mogollon was $75,000 monthly.[8] The community expanded to a population of fifteen hundred that year, with electricity, water, and telephone facilities.

The mountain I used to prospect for several years is covered with ruins wherever there is water. Big ruins. I used to sit on one near my camp and try to imagine what it must have been like. One summer solstice afternoon I was sitting on the cliff boundary of the ruin watching the sunset. In the basin below there’s a volcanic knob out toward the center of the plains. I’d discovered a single kiva on top of it years before and puzzled over it vaguely. But because that day happened to be solstice, I suddenly noticed when the sun went down, it vanished directly behind the point of that Kiva knob! A place like that fires the imagination, and I spent a lot of time thinking of those people who lived in that ruin. One day they just left.

They probably watched and even hosted strings of these travellers along the trail until their own turn came. Sometimes sitting on that mountain early in the morning it sort of overwhelmed me, the pain and sorrow in those villagers. Old Jules Like this: Native Americans - Mogollon. As the desert Indians of the Formative Period (early first millennium to late prehistoric times) emerged from their hunting and gathering past and turned increasingly to a village and agricultural future, the three major groups – the Mogollon, the Hohokam and the Anasazi – all belonged to the same cultural congregation but they occupied differing environmental regions.

The Mogollon had to adapt to the forested mountain ranges and high Chihuahuan Desert basins of southeastern Arizona, southern New Mexico, western Texas, and northern Chihuahua and northern Sonora; the Hohokam and their cultural cousins, the Patayan, to the relentlessly hot Sonoran desert country of south-central and western Arizona, southeastern California and northern Sonora; and the fabled Anasazi, to the arid canyons and mesas of the Colorado Plateau. The Mogollon Basin and Range Region willows formed dense woodland environments, or "bosques," along the banks of rivers and some drainages. The Mogollon Culture Jay W. La culture MOGOLLON.

A quintessential Mimbres piece, this bowl is decorated with geometric designs rendered in the classic black-on-white style. Mimbres pottery was a crucial element of the Mogollon death ritual. Over the centuries, much Mogollon pottery has been destroyed by looters, but a 1989 law passed in New Mexico prohibiting the disturbance of unmarked human graves has helped to reverse this trend.

Nord-américains indigènes. Although North American native civilizations never achieved the level of sophistication of their South American neighbors, scholars speculate that cultural diffusion did take place between North and South American peoples, evidenced particularly in the use of common crops and ideas. Hopewell Hopewell pottery found at the Hopewell Culture National Historical Park in Ohio The Hopewell civilization, sometimes known as Adena/Hopewell, lasted from about 200 BC to 400 AD. It was made up of communities that occupied much of the area now known as the American mid-west, along rivers in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The Hopewell were part-time farmers who lived in villages. They constructed large burial mounds, from which archaeologists have unearthed a variety of objects that originated in distant areas from the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes.

Dans les montagnes de Mogollon, du nom d'un gouverneur de la Nouvelle-Espagne, soixante kilomètres au nord de Silver City par une route tortueuse, cinq grottes peu profondes abritent des constructions de pierre : une quarantaine de pièces au total. D'autres logements se trouvaient au sommet de la falaise, et le long des ruisseaux : il y a des ruines partout où l'eau était disponible. On a donné aux hommes qui vivaient là le nom que porte la montagne : les Mogollons. Comme la plupart des civilisations du Plateau du Colorado, ils ont commencé par vivre dans des puits, dont le plus grand, la kiva, servait aux réunions et au culte.

Agriculture, chasse et cueillette étaient leurs moyens de subsistance. Vers l'an 1000, ils commencent à construire des maisons carrées en pierre : il semble qu'ils ont acquis cette technique des Anasazis. En échange, ils leur transmettent l'art de la poterie, qu'ils ont eux-mêmes appris des Hohokams. La route débouche soudain sur la Gila River.

Over 700 years ago, deep within the Gila Wilderness of New Mexico, a hunter and gatherer community built structures and dwellings within the natural caves of the Cliff Dweller Canyon. While many different groups inhabited this area over thousands of years, only one built within the canyon’s natural caves. This group was part of the Mogollon Culture, a pre-contact American Indian group that combined traditional hunting and gathering with farming.

Established by presidential proclamation on November 16, 1907, Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument preserves the cliff dwellings, the TJ Ruin (a small pueblo inhabited from roughly A.D. 900 to A.D. 1150), and other significant archeological sites related to the Mimbres branch, a subculture of the larger Mogollon culture area. People of the Mogollon Culture constructed and inhabited the cliff dwellings between the late 1270s and 1300. Archeologists estimate that 40-60 Mogollons constructed the Gila Cliff Dwellings.

Today we journeyed up to the Gila Cliff Dwellings to take a short hike up the mountain and see where the Mogollon people lived between 1270 and 1290 A.D. The dwellings are in the Gila National Forest, a couple hours drive from our cabins at Pinos Altos. Along the way, we passed an old adobe house, which is in disrepair but still intact.

Across their range – from southeastern Arizona and northeastern Sonora through southern New Mexico and northern Chihuahua into western Texas – the Mogollon people left us with stunning galleries of mysterious and evocative images painted or chiseled on surfaces of stone. In rudimentary observatories and mountain crevasses split by the rays of the sun, they tracked the annual passage of our star and the coming and going of the seasons. In sequestered rock alcoves, caves and village ceremonial chambers, their holy men – or shamans, people who had access to the spirit world – cached sacred artifacts, their instruments of magic. On the surfaces of ceramic vessels, their potters, especially those of southwestern New Mexico, produced what are apparently visualizations of Mogollon religious beliefs and legend, including deities, mythological figures, ceremonial dancers, animals, birds and symbolic geometric designs.
