The concept of coalescent communities has been widely used by North American archaeologists as a framework for understanding cultural responses to social upheaval. In this article we explore how the concept of coalescence helps us understand the processes that led to the emergence of aggregated settlements in the Albuquerque district of the central Rio Grande Valley around the turn of the fourteenth century. We argue that such communities emerged as strategic local responses to disruptive social and demographic trends on a macroregional scale. Specifically, we use NAA and petrographic sourcing of Western Pueblo- and Rio Grande-style glaze-painted pottery in conjunction with settlement data from the site of Tijeras Pueblo (LA581) to explore how the amalgamation of immigrant and autochthonous people, technology, knowledge, and ritual creatively and radically transformed local and regional practices of community and identity formation.

联合社区的概念已被北美考古学家广泛用作理解文化对社会动荡的反应的框架。在本文中，我们探讨了聚结的概念如何帮助我们了解导致 14 世纪之交里奥格兰德河谷中部阿尔伯克基地区出现聚集聚落的过程。我们认为，这些社区的出现是对宏观区域范围内破坏性社会和人口趋势的当地战略反应。具体来说，我们使用 NAA 和西普韦布洛和里奥格兰德风格釉彩陶器的岩相学来源，结合蒂杰拉斯普韦布洛 (LA581) 遗址的定居数据，探索移民和本土人、技术、知识、
