Beschreibung:
Rex E. Gerald, who excavated the Davis Ranch Site as a predoctoral research fellow at the Amerind Foundation, was later director of the Centennial Museum and an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Texas at El Paso.
The results of Rex Gerald's excavations and Archaeology Southwest's San Pedro Preservation Project (1990-2001) indicate that the people of the Davis Ranch Site were part of a network of dispersed immigrant enclaves responsible for the origin and spread of Roosevelt Red Ware pottery, the key material marker of the Salado phenomenon.
