Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than one thousand years ago, northwestern New Mexico's Chaco Canyon hosted a spectacular culture. The canyon was a hub of ceremony, trade, and administration for the Four Corners area-unlike anything before or since. The museum collection of Chaco Culture National Historical Park includes everything from finely handcrafted pottery, to delicately beaded necklaces, to durable yet artful shoes. Clay, Copper, and Turquoise makes these objects available to the general public for the first time. The pieces came from the daily lives of the Chacoan people-created by their hands or obtained through trade. Fashioned with care, skill, and a sense of beauty, these objects bring the past alive and paint a picture of a people living in an extraordinary land, in an extraordinary time. Book jacket.

Download or read book The Archaeology of Chaco Canyon written by Stephen H. Lekson and published by School for Advanced Research Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The site of a great Ancestral Pueblo center in the 11th and 12th centuries AD, the ruins in Chaco Canyon look like a city to some archaeologists, a ceremonial center to others. Chaco and the people who created its monumental great houses, extensive roads, and network of outlying settlements remain an enigma in American archaeology. Two decades after the latest and largest program of field research at Chaco (the National Park Service's Chaco Project from 1971 to 1982) the original researchers and other leading Chaco scholars convened to evaluate what they now know about Chaco in light of new theories and new data. Those meetings culminated in an advanced seminar at the School of American Research, where the Chaco Project itself was born in 1968. In this capstone volume, the contributors address central archaeological themes, including environment, organization of production, architecture, regional issues, and society and polity. They place Chaco in its time and in its region, considering what came before and after its heyday and its neighbors to the north and south, including Mesoamerica.

Download or read book The Pueblo Bonito Mounds of Chaco Canyon written by Patricia L. Crown and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaco Canyon has one of the most significant concentrations of archaeological remains in North America. Pueblo Bonito, the largest and best known of Chaco’s great houses, was largely excavated in the late 1890s and early 1920s, but then no extensive excavations were conducted at the site until a team of archaeologists from the University of New Mexico began work there in 2004. In exploring the possible evidence of water-control features, archaeologists recovered some 200,000 artifacts. Here they use the artifacts and fauna they found to examine the lives and activities of the inhabitants of Pueblo Bonito as well as to further interpret current models of Chaco archaeology. The contributors particularly focus on questions regarding crafts production, long-distance exchange relationships, and evidence for feasting and other ritual behavior. The results from the 2004–2008 excavations challenge many interpretations related to the daily activities of the Pueblo Bonito population while supporting others.
