Religion was as central in the day-to-day lives of prehistoric
southwestern people, just as it is in the lives of their
descendants today. Examining the role of religion can help to
explain architecture, pottery, agriculture, even commerce. But
archaeologists have only recently developed the theoretical and
methodological tools with which to study this topic. Religion in
the Prehispanic Southwest marks the first book-length study of
prehistoric religion in the region. Drawing on a rich array of
empirical approaches, the contributors show the importance of
understanding beliefs and ritual for a range of time periods and
southwestern societies. For professional and avocational
archaeologists, for religion scholars and students, Religion in the
Prehispanic Southwest represents an important contribution.
