Foundations of Anasazi Culture

by Paul F. Reed

Archaeologists report their latest findings relating to the Basketmaker III era of the people who lived in the southwestern US in prehistoric times. The 13 essays represent diverse approaches, though most are some version of cultural resources management, and do not seek a unified or conclusive view of the lengthy interval. Ten are presented in sections on the northern San Juan, the eastern slope of the Chuska Mountains, and Rainbow Plateau; the rest are synthetic studies of different locations. Annotation c.
