Oshara Tradition

Oshara Tradition: Oshara (Northern) Tradition (c.5500 BC to c. AD 600) was a Southwestern Archaic Tradition centered in north-central New Mexico, the San Juan Basin, the Rio Grande Valley, southern Colorado, and southeastern Utah.

The Oshara may have ancestral roots in earlier Paleo-Indian traditions, but these postulated roots are much disputed and the debate is currently unresolved.

The beginnings of Oshara to about 5500 BC, as dated by Cynthia Irwin-Williams, then developed a sequence of Archaic culture for Oshara in the Arroyo Cuervo area of north central New Mexico. This sequence defines no fewer than six phases of occupation, each identified by Projectile point forms and other less well defined artifacts. Jay, Bajada, San Jose, Armijo, En Medio, and Trujillo- the successive phases, chronicle local Archaic culture from its earliest manifestations right up until AD 600, by which time Ancestral Pueblo ("Anasazi") culture is flourishing in the area.
