For over 10,000 years, Indigenous peoples living in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands have used earth oven baking pits to cook different foods. The time-depth of use combined with the widespread occurrence of oven sites—especially the massive burned rock middens that dot the Lower Pecos landscape—demonstrate the sustained importance of earth ovens within Indigenous cultures.
Although many archaeologists emphasize the subsistence role of earth ovens, these cooking features were and continue to be integral components of social aggregations, feasting, and other aspects of cultural expression.
This talk examines the early Holocene earth oven record from Eagle Cave, Texas, through the lens of intensification and how earth oven use changed over time. Rather than being a behavioral monolith, the Eagle Cave record contains significant differences between periods of earth oven use indicating shifting cultural strategies.
This multifaceted relationship between Indigenous peoples and earth ovens at Eagle Cave provides a foundation to consider the role(s) of earth ovens in adjacent regions.
