Under the direction of Dr. Andrew Duff, and with support from the National Science Foundation, Kristin Safi's doctoral research at Washington State University will examine the degree to which localized political competition organized migrants into cooperative multi-ethnic settlements in west-central New Mexico, a unique cultural setting at the interface of two ancestral cultural traditions, the Pueblo and Mogollon. This research focuses on the A.D. 1050-1150 period, when migrants from both ancestral traditions formed multi-ethnic communities in this area centered around Chacoan-style great houses. These great houses represent scaled-down emulations of the monumental architecture found at Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. Chaco Canyon and the smaller great houses found throughout the Four Corners area has been argued to be a socially and/or politically integrated system of unparalleled scale in the ancient American Southwest. However, little research has investigated how great houses articulated with Chaco Canyon or the role great houses played within their local communities. This research aims to do so by evaluating how political competition between great house communities on the margins of the "Chacoan regional system" mitigated the social stresses caused by rapid population increase by groups from distinct ethnic traditions. Research on migrant integration and community organization will better frame studies of identity expression within multi-ethnic communities and will further knowledge of the interplay between group affiliation and cooperation within multi-ethnic groups, questions relevant to studying migrant integration and community identity in contemporary heterogeneous populations worldwide. This study focuses on the Largo Gap great house and its associated community. The study aims to: (1) characterize the construction and chronology of use at the Largo Gap great house; (2) characterize the Largo Gap support community, and the role of the great house within this community; (3) compare the settlement pattern around, and use of the Largo Gap great house to its two nearest neighbors, Cox Ranch Pueblo and Cerro Pomo; and (4) to explore the articulation between great houses in this region with contemporaneous great house communities across the Four Corners, which will help clarify the nature of the "Chacoan regional system." Systematic survey of lands surrounding Largo Gap and limited testing of the Largo Gap great house and associated community sites will provide the data needed to address these questions. These data, when combined with that collected by Duff at the Cox Ranch and Cerro Pomo great house communities, will permit Safi to evaluate models of political competition, multi-ethnic community integration, and great house function at local and regional scales.This research promotes a wider appreciation for archaeological science and the preservation our national heritage. It also advances increased participation of women in science by training women at all educational levels to conduct archaeological research in the field and laboratory. This project promotes engagement between academia and descendent communities through consultation and research presentations, and engages local residents through community outreach to promote increased understanding of Native American history, the conservation of heritage resources, and to foster relationships between researchers, the descendants of these ancient communities, and the region's current residents.

在安德鲁·达夫（Andrew Duff）博士的指导下，在国家科学基金会的支持下，华盛顿州立大学的克里斯汀·萨菲（Kristin Safi）的博士研究将研究在新墨西哥州西部中部的合作多民族定居点的本地化政治竞争的程度，这是两种祖先文化传统的独特文化环境，这是一种独特的文化环境。这项研究的重点是公元1050-1150时期，当时两种祖先传统的移民在该地区构成了以Chacoan风格的大房子为中心的多种族社区。这些伟大的房屋代表了在新墨西哥州查科峡谷发现的纪念性建筑的缩放仿真。 Chaco Canyon和整个四个角落地区发现的较小的大房子被认为是在古代美国西南部的社会和/或政治整合的无与伦比规模的系统。但是，很少的研究调查了伟大的房屋如何与查科峡谷（Chaco Canyon）或大房子在当地社区中扮演的​​角色。这项研究的目的是通过评估伟大的众议院社区之间的政治竞争如何在“ chacoan区域体系”边缘上的政治竞争，从而减轻了由于不同种族传统的群体的迅速人口增加而导致的社会压力。关于移民融合和社区组织的研究将更好地构建多种族社区中认同表达的研究，并将进一步了解多种族群体中的群体隶属关系与合作之间的相互作用，这与研究全球当代异质种群中的移民融合和社区认同有关的问题。这项研究的重点是Largo Gap Great House及其相关社区。该研究的目的是：（1）在Largo Gap Great House的使用构建和年表； （2）描述了Largo Gap支持社区，以及该社区中大房子的作用； （3）比较周围的定居方式，并使用Largo Gap Great House与其最近的两个邻居Cox Ranch Pueblo和Cerro Pomo进行比较； （4）探索该地区的大房子与四个角落的同时代伟大的房屋社区之间的发音，这将有助于阐明“ Chacoan区域体系”的性质。对Largo差距周围的土地以及对Largo Gap Great House和相关社区站点进行有限测试的系统调查将提供解决这些问题所需的数据。当这些数据与Duff在Cox Ranch和Cerro Pomo Great House社区中收集的数据结合使用时，Safi将允许Safi评估政治竞争的模型，多种族社区融合以及在地方和地区规模上的出色房屋功能。这项研究促进了对考古科学和我们国民遗产保护的广泛欣赏。它还通过培训所有教育水平的妇女在现场和实验室进行考古研究，从而提高了妇女参与科学的参与。该项目通过咨询和研究演讲促进了学术界和后裔社区之间的参与，并通过社区宣传来吸引当地居民，以促进对美国原住民历史，保护遗产资源的保护以及促进研究人员的关系，这些古代社区的后代之间的关系，并促进这些古代社区的后代和该地区的居民之间的关系。
