Reviews

"A landmark volume in southwestern archaeology. A virtue of this summary report is the skill with which data, conclusions, and questions are presented in clear readable form, free of the awkward jargon that encumbers too much archeological writing. Anyone interested in the development of archaeology in the last three decade will want to read it in full."
--American Antiquity

"An excellent introduction to the archaeology of this magnificent area. Its republication will bring to a new generation of readers an appreciation for and understanding of archaeological treasures which, for the most part, no longer exist."
--Utah Historical Quarterly

"Worth the wait. Extremely readable."
--The Dirt Brothers
