Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom about the Mimbres people.

So fascinating! I have come across a few ruins/pithouses on my excursions through the Gila and I always wondered if they have been excavated. I think what I explored were in fact these "hamlets" because they are very small pithouse-like sites that included (from what I found) arrowheads and sherds of black and white pottery with ploychrome. These findings have led me on a journey through exploration and lectures such as these, that way I can have a better understanding and respect for the sites that I find. I definitely wish I would have pursued a career in archeology and I highly respect everything you do to preserve our past. Thank you for posting these and if you would like coordinates to these sites please reply to this.

Did they have outhouses ?

There seems to be a disconnect between a lecture on looting and the beautiful pot at the beginning that was ritually "killed" and, accordingly, might be considered a burial good. Public versus academic access to archaeology is a puzzle.
