Description: "Chacoan society endured for more than two hundred years, evolving and changing in the period from A.D. 950 to about 1150. Undoubtedly, many leaders came and went during these hundred years. But we have no written records to name these leaders. However, the archaeological record does offer some secrets which have helped scholars reconstruct much of the history of this fascinating society. Following a narrative history, thematic chapters guide readers to the emergence of Chacoan society, its cultural and environmental settings, and the Pueblo people. Information about the discovery and investigations of Chacoan society by Europeans and Americans is also provided. An annotated timeline, biographical sketches of the people who have formed our thoughts about and approaches to Chacoan society, and 20 annotated excerpted primary and secondary documents walk readers through Canyon related material. A glossary of terms, illustrations, maps, and recommended sources for further inquiry round out the volume."--BOOK JACKET.
