Salado is, at the very least, a complicated pattern of material culture that has intrigued and vexed archaeologists for decades—most researchers would agree on that. Ideas about what Salado means, however, vary greatly. This issue presents findings of Archaeology Southwest’s investigations in southwestern New Mexico, which are part of a long-term quest to understand the meaning of Salado.
