This review is from: Hopi Dwellings: Architectural Change at Orayvi (Hardcover)
I'm not sure exactly how to review this book. I bought it sight unseen and without having read any reviews of it. From the title, I hoped this was an historical and archeological look at changes in pueblo architecture at Orayvi (Oraibi) over the course of its use. I assumed it would cover things like changes in building materials, design, and pueblo orientation over the past 600 to 800 years.However, this book looks at one specific question - how did pueblo room sizes, numbers, and usage change from the 1880s to the 1940s? It covers that in great detail, but reads very much like a graduate thesis. That is, it's very dry reading and repetitive. If you are an archaeologist studying puebloan sites, you probably already have the book. If you're an interested lay person (like me) it's probably not going to satisfy you. |
