Chaco & Hohokam
de Patricia L. Crown, W. James Judge
Papers and discussions (from a 1987 seminar held at the School of American Research in Santa Fe, New Mexico), along with a chapter that summarizes and synthesizes the presentations, offer new data, current thinking, and a set of case studies on two of the Southwest's most sophisticated cultures of prehistoric times. The authors examine settlement patterns, subsistence economy, exchange of goods, and social organization with an emphasis on explaining and comparing cultural origins, growth, maintenance, and decline.
