The American Southwest is one of the most important archaeological
regions in the world, with many of the best-studied examples of
hunter-gatherer and village-based societies. Research has been
carried out in the region for well over a century, and during this
time the Southwest has repeatedly stood at the forefront of the
development of new archaeological methods and theories. Moreover,
research in the Southwest has long been a key site of collaboration
between archaeologists, ethnographers, historians, linguists,
biological anthropologists, and indigenous intellectuals. This
volume marks the most ambitious effort to take stock of the
empirical evidence, theoretical orientations, and historical
reconstructions of the American Southwest. Over seventy top
scholars have joined forces to produce an unparalleled survey of
state of archaeological knowledge in the region. Themed chapters on
particular methods and theories are accompanied by comprehensive
overviews of the culture histories of particular archaeological
sequences, from the initial Paleoindian occupation, to the rise of
a major ritual center in Chaco Canyon, to the onset of the Spanish
and American imperial projects. The result is an essential volume
for any researcher working in the region as well as any
archaeologist looking to take the pulse of contemporary trends in
this key research tradition.
