Archaic and Basketmaker People of New Mexico
Beginning perhaps around 8,800 years ago, people in the American Southwest – El Norte Mexicano region responded to changes in climate. These changes are categorized into a set of eras known as Basketmaker eras that are so named after how the people used plant fibers to make their household goods and articles of clothing. They become the Anasazi and Mogollon, ancestors to the Pueblo Indians.
