Abandoned Pueblos are scattered throughout the southwestern US. And at many, archaeologists have a curious artifact: the skeletons of scarlet macaws. The birds' bright red feathers are known to have been an important status symbol, a signifier of for people throughout the American tropics and the southwest, both in the ancient world and today. But macaws are a tropical bird, whose never extended north of today's US- Mexico border. So how did the Pueblo people obtain the birds? To examine the birds' origin, scientists mitochondrial DNA found within macaw bones from two sites in New Mexico: Chaco Canyon and the Mimbres region. Turns out, three quarters of the birds had identical mitochondrial genome sequences--meaning the ancient birds came from the same maternal line. That suggests they were all the products of a operation.
