Volume 3 in the Papers of the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research at
the University of Arizona. Presents archaeological and
chronological data on thirteen Tsegi Phase sites in the area of
Tsegi Canyon in northeastern Arizona, for a comprehensive
characterization of the Tsegi Phase. Analysis of 386 dated
tree-ring specimens from thirteen Tsegi Phase sites has produced a
considerable body of detailed chronological information relevant to
each site and to the phase. Each of the sites is placed against the
scale of absolute time, a procedure that permits them to be
compared on the basis of absolute rather than classificatory
contemporaneity. Intensive analysis of 299 dates couples with
detailed architectural studies at the major sites of Betatakin and
Kiet Siel yield much more than just chronological information.
Precise provenience controls and the large number of dates from
each site permit refined analyses of intra-site chronological
relationships, which in turn provide the basis for a number of
inferences about nonmaterial aspects of culture such as social
units, social organization, leadership structure, village
integration, and village homogeneity. Analyses of 533 undated and
299 dated specimens from Betatakin and Kiet Siel are relevant to a
variety of nonchronological problems, which are divided into two
types: those concerned with the prehistoric environment and those
of a cultural-historical nature. The University of Arizona Press's
Century Collection employs the latest in digital technology to make
previously out-of-print books from our notable backlist available
once again. Enriching historical and cultural experiences for
readers, this collection offers these volumes unaltered from their
original publication and in affordable digital or paperback
formats.
