Archeologists have found it difficult to identify even large-scale social groups among mobile hunters and gatherers, despite the fact that ethnographic research has shown that they have social lives beyond their residential band. Based on ecological theory and on ethnographic analogy, I suggest that the mobile hunters and gatherers of the Southwest Late Archaic would have been members of at least three kinds of social groups: band, marriage group and an economic risk-sharing group. The economic network contains a number of marriage groups and is geographically and demographically larger than a single marriage group. These different groups would have not only provided mates and economic risk-mitigation but would also provide the means through which information about nearby resources and peoples could be shared. The larger two of these groups, marriage groups and economic networks, can be seen through the geographic distribution of different kinds of style in different artifact classes. Marriage groups provide craft-training, and so share isochrestic, or technological, style. Economic networks, in comparison, share iconological style in some artifacts, particularly those likely to be seen by outsiders. The geographic distribution, therefore, of iconological style should be larger than that of isochrestic style. I tested these hypotheses by examining the isochrestic and iconological style of cordage and sandals, and the iconological style of projectile points from four Late Archaic sites in southern New Mexico. Cordage and sandals from Bat Cave, Tularosa Cave and Cordova Cave, all in the Mogollon Highlands, share isochrestic stylistic attributes, while cordage and sandals from Fresnal Shelter in the Tularosa Basin differ markedly in those same isochrestic stylistic attributes. In comparison, many of the same projectile point types appear at all four sites, and those points show no regional differences within each type. This research has additional implications for our understanding of mobile hunter-gatherer lifeways. The nested social networks identified provide the personnel to whom territoriality and sharing are applied. In addition, this work provides material correlates of membership in the different kinds of social groups, opening a window into a more situational and varying view of hunter-gatherer social lives.
