The historical overview restructures and refines Buckles and Buckles (1984) <br />sociopolitical framework by addressing the three principal temporal divisions, as outlined above in <br />the Historical Overview and shown in Table 10. It uses major political events of international <br />significance within the context of cultural <br />perspectives (Buckles and Buckles 1984; Table 12 Sociopolitical stages during the American <br />Carrillo 1990). These include: 1) the Period <br />Spanish period (1600-1821) beginning <br />with the estimated earliest date of <br />non-Native American occupation of the <br />Spanish Borderlands, including southern <br />Colorado, and ending with the date of <br />Mexican independence; 2) the Mexican <br />republic period (1821-1848) extending to <br />the close of the Mexican Waz; and 3) the <br />American period (1849- present). <br />Using the total array of artifacts <br />observed during both the recording and <br />test excavations, the major occupation of <br />SLA7186 seems to have occurred between <br />1870 through the 1930s, and therefore <br />generally encompasses the majority of the <br />themes described by Buckles and Buckles <br />(1984) (Table 12).
