Description: "This book applies new theories of social organization and leadership strategies to the prehispanic Southwest. It examines leadership strategies in a number of archaeological contexts - from Chaco Canyon to Casas Grandes, from Hohokam to Zuni - to show striking differences in the way that leadership was constructed across the region.".

"These case studies provide ample evidence for alternative models of leadership in middle-range societies. By illustrating complementary approaches in the study of political organization, they offer new insight into power and inequality. They also provide important models of how today's archaeologists are linking data to theory, providing a basis for comparative analysis with other regions."--BOOK JACKET.
