An exuberant, hands-on fly-on-the-wall account that combines the
thrill of canyoneering and rock climbing with the intellectual
sleuthing of archaeology to explore the Anasazi.David Roberts
describes the culture of the Anasazi--the name means "enemy
ancestors" in Navajo--who once inhabited the Colorado Plateau and
whose modern descendants are the Hopi Indians of Arizona.
Archaeologists, Roberts writes, have been puzzling over the Anasazi
for more than a century, trying to determine the environmental and
cultural stresses that caused their society to collapse 700 years
ago. He guides us through controversies in the historical record,
among them the haunting question of whether the Anasazi committed
acts of cannibalism. Roberts's book is full of up-to-date thinking
on the culture of the ancient people who lived in the harsh desert
country of the Southwest.
