Book A General View of the Archeology of the Pueblo Region  Classic Reprint

Download or read book A General View of the Archeology of the Pueblo Region Classic Reprint written by Edgar Lee Hewett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A General View of the Archeology of the Pueblo Region The term pueblo region has not yet been acceptably defined. As used in this paper it designates that portion of the United States over which are distributed the archeological remains and the living remnants of those aboriginal North American tribes which from their chief common characteristic, that of permanent substantial house building, received from the Spanish conquerors the name of Pueblo or town Indians. It embraces almost the whole of New Mexico and Arizona, with small portions of southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah. There is probably no reason why the term should not be extended to embrace large portions of the states of Sonora and Chihuahua, in Old Mexico.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mesa Verde migrations in the thirteenth century were an integral part of a transformative period that forever changed the course of Pueblo history. For more than seven hundred years, Pueblo people lived in the Northern San Juan region of the U.S. Southwest. Yet by the end of the 1200s, tens of thousands of Pueblo people had left the region. Understanding how it happened and where they went are enduring questions central to Southwestern archaeology. Much of the focus on this topic has been directed at understanding the role of climate change, drought, violence, and population pressure. The role of social factors, particularly religious change and sociopolitical organization, are less well understood. Bringing together multiple lines of evidence, including settlement patterns, pottery exchange networks, and changes in ceremonial and civic architecture, this book takes a historical perspective that naturally forefronts the social factors underlying the depopulation of Mesa Verde. Author Donna M. Glowacki shows how “living and leaving” were experienced across the region and what role differing stressors and enablers had in causing emigration. The author’s analysis explains how different histories and contingencies—which were shaped by deeply rooted eastern and western identities, a broad-reaching Aztec-Chaco ideology, and the McElmo Intensification—converged, prompting everyone to leave the region. This book will be of interest to southwestern specialists and anyone interested in societal collapse, transformation, and resilience.

Book Images from the Region of the Pueblo Indians of North America

Download or read book Images from the Region of the Pueblo Indians of North America written by Aby Warburg and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aby M. Warburg (1866-1929) is recognized not only as one of the century's preeminent art and renaissance historians but also as a founder of twentieth-century methods in iconology and cultural studies in general. Warburg's 1923 lecture, first published in German in 1988 and now available in the first complete English translation, offers at once a window on his career, a formative statement of his cultural history of modernity, and a document in the ethnography of the American Southwest. This edition includes thirty-nine photographs, many of them originally presented as slides with the speech, and a rich interpretive essay by the translator. The presentation grew out of Warburg's 1895 encounter with the Hopi Indians, an experience he claimed generated his theory of the Renaissance. In this powerfully written piece, Warburg investigates the relationships among ethnography, iconography, and cultural studies to develop a multicultural history of modernity. As an independent scholar in Hamburg, Warburg led the intellectual circle that included Erwin Panofsky and Ernst Cassirer, pioneers in the investigation of cultural history through the analysis of visual art and the interpretation of symbols. When Warburg wrote this exposition, however, he was a mental patient in a Kreuzlingen sanatorium. Warburg's vulnerable state of mind lends urgency and passion to his discussion of human rationality and cultural demons.
