More than 50 years ago archaeologists identified a high-density of small Puebloan habitations on the Kaiparowits Plateau in southern Utah. Analysis of pottery from these habitations by James Gunnerson and Florence Lister resulted in conflicting interpretations of cultural affiliation. Gunnerson argued for a Virgin affiliation whereas Lister argued for a Kayentan affiliation. Lister’s interpretation triumphed and the Puebloan occupation of the Kaiparowits was attributed to a migration of Kayenta people from the south during the late Pueblo II period. A review of architectural and artifactual evidence fails to support a Kayentan migration. An expansion of Puebloan groups from the west and southwest better accords with the archaeological record on the Kaiparowits Plateau.

Kaiparowits Puebloans：Kayentan还是Virgin Branch移民？

50多年前，考古学家在犹他州南部的Kaiparowits高原发现了高密度的小型Puebloan栖息地。詹姆斯·甘纳森（James Gunnerson）和弗洛伦斯·利斯特（Florence Lister）对这些居住环境中的陶器进行的分析导致对文化归属的解释相互矛盾。贡纳森（Gunnerson）主张建立维京隶属关系，而李斯特（Lister）则主张建立凯恩坦隶属关系。李斯特（Lister）的解释获得了胜利，而凯普洛维茨（Paibloan）对凯普罗维兹（Paibloan）的占领归因于凯布（Kayenta）人在普韦布洛（Pueblo）II后期从南部迁徙。对体系结构和人为证据的审查不能支持Kayentan迁移。从西部和西南部扩展的普韦布洛族群体更符合凯帕罗维茨高原的考古记录。
