Review:
This is a landmark book. It synthesizes the results of the last great archaeological project that may ever be conducted in Chaco Canyon. The Archaeology of Chaco Canyon includes chapters by most of the organizers of each of the thematic conferences, supplemented by additional chapters to provide better regional, macroregional, and historical contextâ ¦. It is a grand pyramid scheme, but in this case, it benefits everyone involved. --Barbara J. Mills, American Anthropologist Vol. 110, No. 1 , March 2008
In 12 chapters, 20 authors treat major themes to explain the extraordinary Chaco phenomenon. It is an impressive accomplishment, clearly written and carefully edited, with good maps and illustrations. Highly recommended for general archaeology collections. --K.A. Dixon, Choice, Vol. 44, no. 9 (May 2007)
The Archaeology of Chaco Canyon is one of two synthesis volumes resulting from the National Park Service Chaco Project (1971-1982). As the capstone to that project, this volume has much to offer the student of Chaco and those interested in the intellectual history and trajectories of archaeological theoryâ ¦ The wealth of information addressed and interpreted in the text is truly a valuable contribution to the discipline. --Carrie C. Heitman, Kiva: The Journal of Southwestern Anthropology and History Vol. 72, no. 4 (Summer 2007)
