Additional goals were to learn more about social and political relationships between the investigated sites (Driver 1996; Glowacki et al. 1995, 1998; Muir and Driver 2002, 2004; Ortman 2008; Pierce et al. 2002) and to understand the role of warfare in Pueblo III society (Kuckelman 2002; Kuckelman et al. 2000). An outgrowth of the Sand Canyon Project, which culminated in a working conference on the Pueblo III period across the Colorado Plateau (Adler, ed. 1996), was the initial creation of a large site database for the central Mesa Verde region (see Adler and Johnson 1996:262–264; Varien et al.

This typology differed from earlier “discovery and description” schemes, which tended to classify sites on the basis of their settings. Habitation sites documented during the DAP were defined as “residential centers of the community [that] contain the dwellings (households and interhousehold clusters), integrative structures, and other facilities and spaces integral to the community cluster” (Kane 1986:358).

Although it may not apply to the entirety of the larger areas studied by Duff and Wilshusen, our reconstruction supports elements of both models.
