	Pecos River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pecos River rises near Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States, and flows for 926 miles (1,480 km) through the eastern portion of that state and neighboring Texas before it empties into the Rio Grande near Del Rio.
		The river is dammed at Avalon and McMillan to help irrigate about 25,000 acres (101 km²) as part of the Carlsbad reclamation project (established in 1906).
		In the latter half of the 19th century, "West of the Pecos" was a reference to the rugged frontiers of the Wild West.

	Pecos River Style
		The consistent depiction of the atlatl and the absence of the bow and arrow imply that the Pecos River style originated and flourished during the long Archaic period, from 7000 B.C. to A.C. 600 in this region.
		The period of highest population density, and presumably scalar stress, within the estimated range of the Pecos River style is roughly between 2000 and 1000 B.C. Although admittedly speculative, this estimate provides a heuristic device for future archeological research into Lower Pecos population dynamics.
		The Pecos River style contributes to a reconstruction of prehistoric lifeways,by I believe, demonstrating that a unified belief system, rooted in a shamanic tradition, was an organizing principle in Archaic society.

		The Pecos River, a typical Western freestone stream nestled at the foot of the Sangre de Christo Mountains in northern New Mexico, is certainly not any secret trout stream.
		While the limited warmth of the midday sun is scarcely enough to buoy the metabolism of the Pecos River's trout, it is just enough to trigger one of the few hatches that occur during winter's icy grip.
		Since the river supports a superb summertime caddis hatch — along with hatches of smaller fl, brown and yellow stoneflies and March browns — it also pays to carry a good selection of fl-, brown-, gray- and tan-colored nymphs.

		The alluvium overlies Permian, Triassic, and Cretaceous rocks as shown by a diagrammatic section that extends from northern Reeves County to northern Pecos County approximately parallel to the Pecos River (fig.
		Dissolution of evaporites in underlying Permian rocks has resulted in subsidence and the formation of deep troughs in Reeves County and in Winkler and Ward Counties; thick deposits of Cenozoic alluvium have accumulated in the troughs, which are evident in the base-of-aquifer map shown in figure 28.
		The salinity, which has increased substantially in some areas of intense pumpage, is caused primarily by induced infiltration of highly mineralized water from the Pecos River and return flow of irrigation water that has high mineral content caused by concentration by evapotranspiration and leaching of salts and fertilizers from the soil.
