Description: Classic site reports establish the Mogollon on their own cultural track distinct from the Anasazi and also document the earliest known association of tree-ring dates with pottery in the Southwest.
This book explores the importance of the Crane Site to the study of Palaeoeskimo history of the Arctic. Its discovery in 1987 on the Cape Bathurst Peninsula in the western Arctic was an archaeological bonanza. The examination of artifacts and fauna that date from the early to middle centuries of the last millennium B.C. confirms that Palaeoeskimo culture in this area progressed at a much slower rate than elsewhere.
Description: Draws on research conducted at Petrified Forest and Homolovi Ruins to explore such topics as modeling prehistoric agricultural strategies and settlement, the relation between storage and the pit house to pueblo transition, the use of adobe brick architecture, the relationship of rock art with that of the San Juan River, summaries of archaeobotanical and faunal analyses of excavated sites, and definition of the chronology and phases of the Homol'ovi area near Winslow.
