Abstract
This dissertation investigates the encampment practices of the Ute, Comanche, and Apache in New Mexico during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This research draws on archaeological data, archival research, and collaboration with tribal representatives, in order to analyze spatial and material patterns across nomadic communities. Through a comparative analysis of Ute, Comanche, and Apache material culture I demonstrate that New Mexico was a strategic space in the formation of new mobile life-ways during the Spanish colonial period. This research offers one of the first systematic investigations of nomadic material culture in a region dominated by scholarship on Pueblo archaeology and cosmology.
