Title: Chimney Rock
Description: "This volume sheds new light on the geography and the history of the Chimney Rock Archaeological Area in southwestern Colorado. Home until the mid-twelfth century to the ancestral Pueblo peoples, the Chaco Canyon and Chimney Rock site holds a wealth of information for present-day archaeologists to uncover. the contributors suggest varied prehistorical uses for the towering double spires of Chimney Rock: as a logging camp, military garrison, home of Chacoan priests, astronomical observatory, and/or ceremonial-pilgrimage center. Chimney Rock: The Ultimate Outlier is a multifaceted inquiry into an ancient North American residential site."--BOOK JACKET.
