Archaeologists have come to recognize that prehistoric burial
practices provide an unparalleled opportunity for understanding and
reconstructing ancient civilizations and for identifying the
influences that helped shape them. Editors Douglas Mitchell and
Judy Brunson-Hadley have gathered unprecedented scholarship on
burial practices and sites in the American Southwest offering a
wide variety of approaches, techniques, and analyses by leading
archaeologists, physical and biological anthropologists,
paleopathologists, and Native American tribal historians and
resource managers.
Twenty scholars evaluate ancient burial practices to recreate
the structure and history of major southwestern cultures, including
the Hohokam, Anasazi, Sinagua, Zuni, Mogollon, and Salado. This
state-of-the-art collection combines case studies, population
analyses, an examination of new federal laws that have changed the
face of archaeological mortuary studies, and an essential Native
American perspective on archaeologistsa study of human remains and
mortuary artifacts.
