Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's green cloth with gilt lettering to spine and cover with decorative border at heal. First edition. This collection of essays, edited by Stephen Plog, is the third book-length study of Black Mesa (Arizona) to be published by Southern Illinois University. Plog author or coauthored nine of its thirteen chapters, setting the tone for the entire volume. Black Mesa lies in far northeaster Arizona. From its southern face the Hopi mesas just south like fingers pointed towards the Little Colorado River. Southwestern archaeologist, especially those interested in the Kayenta region, will find this volume essential reading. The Black Mesa area is unusually important because it exhibits a well-preserved record of prehistoric occupation which contrasts with development in the Chaco region to the east. Black Mesa offered an altogether more forbidding environment than New Mexico's eastern Anasazi heartland, and, as this volume sol carefully points out, settlements were far smaller and less stable.

Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's grey cloth with silver lettering to spine and cover with a decorative design to cover. Foreword by George J. Gumerman. First edition. Until now archaeologists have been capable of little more than speculation concerning the extent of human mobility in the prehistoric Southwest. According to George J. Gumerman in his Foreword to this book, however, "Shirley Powell's study has changed that. Using a combination of archaeological and ethnological data she has been able to demonstrate that certain periods on Black Mesa in Northeastern Arizona are characterized by great mobility while at other times the Mesa had a more sedentary population. She has taken the question of seasonality in occupation from the realm of speculation to that of testable hypothesis." Powell's major concern throughout this study is with behavior variability. Specifically she addresses the adequacy of "behavioral interpretations of material culture patterns for the Black Mesa region of northeastern Arizona." She notes that sometimes the descriptions from which explanations of variability are based are misleading or incorrect. Examining the relationships "among environment, subsistence, and mobility strategies," she emphasizes the role of seasonality in site locational strategies. Using data derived from ethnographic and ethnoarchaeological sources, she develops a model of subsistence/settlement interrelationships, which she tests by using "material culture remains from prehistoric sites."
