Living the Ancient Southwest
About this book
"How did Southwestern peoples subsist in the arid reaches of the Great Basin? When and why did violence erupt in the Mesa Verde region? Who were the Fremont people? How do some Hopis view Chaco Canyon? These are a few of the topics addressed in Living the Ancient Southwest. The essayists in this new highly-illustrated anthology also write about the beauty and originality of Mimbres pottery, the rock art in Canyon de Chelly, the history of the Wupatki Navajos, and O'odham songs describing ancient trails to the Pacific Coast. The anthropologist-writers in this book will enlighten readers on a variety of subjects relating to the deep history and culture of the American Southwest"--Provided by publisher.
