Ancient Puebloan Southwest traces the evolution of Puebloan society
in the American Southwest from the emergence of the Chaco and
Mimbres traditions in the AD 1000s through the early decades of
contact with the Spanish in the sixteenth century. The 2004 book
focuses on the social and political changes that shaped Puebloan
people over the centuries, emphasizing how factors internal to
society impacted on cultural evolution, even in the face of the
challenging environment that characterizes the American Southwest.
The underlying argument is that while the physical environment both
provides opportunities and sets limitations to social and political
change, even more important evolutionary forces are the tensions
between co-operation and competition for status and leadership.
Although relying primarily on archaeological data, the book also
includes oral histories, historical accounts, and ethnographic
records as it introduces readers to the deep history of the
Puebloan Southwest.
