The pre-Hispanic pueblo settlements of the Pajarito Plateau, whose
ruins can be seen today at Bandelier National Monument, date to the
late 1100s and were already dying out when the Spanish arrived in
the sixteenth century. Until recently, little modern scientific
data on these sites was available.
The essays in this volume summarize the results of new
excavation and survey research in Bandelier, with special attention
to determining why larger sites appear when and where they do, and
how life in these later villages and towns differed from life in
the earlier small hamlets that first dotted the Pajarito in the
mid-1100s. Drawing on sources from archaeology, paleoethnobotany,
geology, climate history, rock art, and oral history, the authors
weave together the history of archaeology on the Plateau and the
natural and cultural history of its Puebloan peoples for the four
centuries of its pre-Hispanic occupation.
