 Analysis of the Shift in Entranceway Architecture of the Mogollon Region / Amanda Burke
Entranceway architecture in the Mogollon region of New Mexico and Arizona showed a significant change throughout the development of the culture from AD 200-1400.
Excavations have revealed that in the Mogollon culture, as in the rest of the Southwest, dwellings took on various shapes over time, from semi-subterranean pithouses to one-story adobe pueblo buildings (Cameron and Lekson 1998:4).
For this paper, I examined 23 sites within the Mogollon culture containing both pithouse and pueblo remains for evidence that a major cosmological shift corresponding with an emergence theme was manifested in structures during the shift from one architectural form to the other.

 Geographic Focal Areas
Arizona's magnificent Grand Canyon may be the number-one geological wonder of the world, but the Mogollon Rim, an escarpment running in a northwest-to-southeast diagonal line fifty to one hundred and fifty miles south of the canyon, serves, by far, as the most purposeful Arizona geologic feature.
The Mogollon Rim is an extended and uniform geologic monocline or fold consequent to the region's plate tectonics, which formed it about thirty million years ago.
Because the Mogollon Rim monoclinal corridor is such an integrated feature of the obvious heartland of this region, its intrinsic nature as well as its geographic influence should, logically, be considered a "core feature" of the "Southwest." Prehistoric cultures flourished and endured due to the soil and water made possible by the Mogollon Rim.
