4.0 out of 5 stars
A detailed archaeological look at late prehistoric Southwest,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Casas Grandes World (Hardcover)
This large single volume work is comprised of articles by several specialists in archaeology and anthropology concerning sites, excavations, and artifacts throught the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts believed to be related to the the World Heritage site of Casas Grandes in northern Mexico. The authors pose various theories about occupation, trade, and abandonement in this region of North America during the period from around 1200AD to 1400AD, and thus this work is well suited for all interested in a detailed, non-stereotypical understanding of the Southwest, especially professionals and academics. I bought this book when I was a student on a field-school archeological dig of a site within this region, and the book helped me better understand what was going on around me and what the motivations for such a study were. The book can get pretty dense and heavily intellectual at times, a fact that makes it a good resource for those involved in either school or professional research.
