商品簡介
In this collection of 12 articles on what they have learned from new data and theories, experts on the Chaco Project (1968-1986) give an introduction to the methods and the meaning of Chaco, its ecology and economy, architecture, organization of production, its world, society and polity, its beginnings, its Mesoamerican objects and symbols within its own contexts, the place of the project within its historical context, and its contributions to a synthesis of ideas about what happened in the canyon and why. Contributors provide notes on what has been happening since the project proper as well as a number of outstanding illustrations ranging from colored plates to schematics, maps, and art-quality photos of artifacts.
