最近的发掘和对现有公共坑结构数据的重新分析为新墨西哥州西南部明布雷斯山谷大约350年（公元800年至1140年）的仪式和文化发展提供了有趣的见解。在这一时期的中期，人们将住所从pithouses转移到pueblos，这一转变以前被视为明布雷斯社会的关键转变。在本文中，我们表明，显着的变化，明布雷斯社会开始在公元800年代。公共坑结构的建造方法、在坑内放置奉献物品、其仪式退休及其在明布雷斯村庄中的长期意义的趋势反映了明布雷斯社会发生的其他变化。我们认为，在公元9世纪，基于与亚利桑那州南部霍霍坎人的紧密联系和农业集约化的快速变化开始了一条轨迹，最终在公元11世纪和1100年代初的经典明布雷斯普韦布洛达到顶峰。
Recent excavations and reanalysis of existing data on communal pit structures provide intriguing insights into ritual and cultural developments over a period of about 350 years, from A.D. 800 to 1140, in the Mimbres Valley of southwestern New Mexico. In the middle of this period, people shifted dwellings from pithouses to pueblos, a shift previously viewed as the pivotal transformation of Mimbres society. In this paper we show that significant changes in Mimbres society began in the A.D. 800s. Trends in the construction methods of communal pit structures, the placement of dedicatory items within them, their ritual retirements, and their long-lived significance within Mimbres villages, reflect other changes that occurred in Mimbres society. We contend that in the A.D. 800s, rapid change based on strong connections with the Hohokam of southern Arizona and agricultural intensification began a trajectory that culminated in the Classic Mimbres pueblos of the A.D. 1000s and early 1100s.
