Kurt F. Anschuetz (MA, University of New Mexico 1985; PhD, University of Michigan 1998) is an anthropologist and archaeologist based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His research includes issues of late Prehispanic and early Historic period Pueblo agricultural land use, development of cultural landscapes, and changing social organization. The scope of his everyday work is to provide technical assistance to traditional and historic Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo communities working to sustain their relationships with the land, the water, and their cultural heritage resources as development proceeds throughout the region. Kurt’s recent projects include assisting the Pueblo of Acoma in its contributions to the Mount Taylor Traditional Cultural Property Nomination to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties. He has worked with the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station over the past decade to document the many historical layers of the Valles Caldera cultural landscape and identify the relationships that the region’s culturally diverse communities maintain with the Preserve and the surrounding Jemez Mountains. Kurt also contributes to the development of expert testimony in water adjudication cases in north-central and west-central New Mexico either directly for various Pueblos or on their behalf through their relationships with the U.S. Department of Justice.

Archaeological collaboration with traditional Pueblo communities faces many practical challenges.... more Archaeological collaboration with traditional Pueblo communities faces many practical challenges. Archaeologists typically expect cultural practitioners to accept what archaeology entails as a scientific discipline and its approach to understanding the past. Within traditional Pueblo perspectives, archaeological excavation might not be an appropriate measure for mitigating adverse effect in the federal Section 106 compliance process. Rather than asserting the primacy of their preferences and values, archaeologists should be receptive to indigenous perceptions and attitudes about what archaeology is and what archaeology does. Hearing can facilitate the opening of communication avenues for cross-cultural explorations into the multiplicity of truths about the past.
