Download or read book The Architecture of Social Integration in Prehistoric Pueblos written by William D. Lipe and published by Occasional Papers. This book was released on 1989 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the first in a series of Occasional Papers of the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center in Cortez, Colorado, eleven archaeologists explore new ways of looking at the social functions of prehistoric Pueblo architecture at scales of integration ranging from the household to the region. The contributors provide theoretical, historical, and cross-cultural perspectives on Pueblo architecture and social organization, and they examine the time-honored assumption that prehistoric and historic Pueblo kivas were functionally equivalent. They also consider the development of plazas and other public structures in relation to changing community organization and evidence that kivas and related structures were loci for material and information exchange.

Download or read book Troubled Times written by David W. Frayer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence amassed in Troubled Times indicates that, much like in the modern world, violence was not an uncommon aspect of prehistoric dispute resolution. From the civilizations of the American Southwest to the Mesolithic of Central Europe, the contributors examine violence in hunter-gatherer as well as state societies from both the New and Old Worlds. Drawing upon cross-cultural analyses, archaeological data, and skeletal remains, this collection of papers offers evidence of domestic violence, homicide, warfare, cannibalism, and ritualized combat among ancient peoples. Beyond the physical evidence, various models and explanations for violence in the past are explored.

Download or read book The Sand Canyon Archaeological Project written by William D. Lipe and published by Occasional Papers. This book was released on 1992 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sand Canyon Project is a continuing interdisciplinary study of the Pueblo Indian occupation of southwestern Colorado, focusing on the period A.D. 1150-1300. Working in a field area approximately fifteen miles northwest of Mesa Verde National Park, project archaeologists are investigating two classic problems in Puebloan archaeology; the shift from dispersed upland settlement to large, canyon-oriented pueblos and the rapid abandonment of the northern San Juan area in the late A.D. 1200's. Survey results, intensive and test excavations at selected sites (including Sand Canyon Pueblo), a study of agricultural productivity during the late Pueblo period, and an oral history of twentieth-century homesteading are among the topics reported in this monograph.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publication of this book completes a two-volume report on research at the Duckfoot site. Volume 2 focuses on understanding prehistoric household organization as it is represented in the archaeological record. Drawing on data presented in Volume 1, Ricky R. Lightfoot tests a model of early Pueblo social organization in the northern Southwest. Lightfoot addresses the question of how the people of Duckfoot organized themselves into household groups. Together with the first volume, this work provides the reader with a comprehensive look at the results of this important research project, one of the largest and most successful partnerships between professional archaeologists and lay participants in educational programs. This innovative case study will be of interest not only to those who follow the most recent developments in southwestern archaeology but also to scholars everywhere who are interested in household organization.
Download or read book Tracking Ancient Footsteps written by Richard Ghia Matson and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracking Ancient Footsteps celebrates William D. Lipe's five-decade career in Southwestern and conservation archaeology. From the arid expanses of Glen Canyon, the Red Rock Plateau, and Cedar Mesa in Utah, to the lush Dolores Valley and Mesa Verde regions of Colorado, Lipe participated in the key projects defining much of what is known today about the ancient Native American past. And, in 1974, he provided a timely definition for "public archaeology" that influences researchers and land managers to the present time. During a long tenure at Washington State University, Lipe also assumed leading roles in the Society for American Archaeology, the Register of Professional Archaeologists, and the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center at Cortez, Colorado. In Tracking Ancient Footsteps, nine of his close colleagues share their experiences, providing a chronology of one man's life intersecting with our understanding of Southwestern Prehistory, the role of government land-holding agencies, and the archaeological profession as a whole. Tracking Ancient Footsteps includes 37 photos, maps, charts, and tables, and an invaluable reference section. Book jacket.
