Native American Tribal Arts & Architecture      
SOUTHWEST ARCHITECTURE
 
 

First & Second Line Classification

The first and second line classification system for Southwest architecture is designed to create a site-based collection of images. Slide images of a site are organized and positioned together in one place. Within each site, structures are arranged chronologically or by cultural sequence (time, phase or branch divisions). Specific structure types within a particular site are grouped together.

Prehistoric

The first line number of Prehistoric Southwest architecture classification defines specific Native American Southwest prehistoric cultures. The second line number defines general and specific site names plus time, phase or branch division (cultural sequence). Pueblo and cliff dwelling site names are cuttered sites and are not structures defined as third line numbers. This enables specific structure types of prehistoric sites to be defined and kept together within each site (ie:kivas at Pueblo Bonito).

Historic

The first line number of Historic Southwest architecture classification defines time period (historic). The second line number defines culture plus specific site name.

Notes:
    Sites listed exist in the collection currently, and potentially. When images of an unlisted site are added to the collection, add new site name and corresponding classification number to this list and to authority file.

    A decision has been made to use anglicized versions of native language words. Thus, commonly used (rather than "proper") names, without diacritical marks, are included in the following. "SEE:" references may be included in the indices or authority card records.
