5-0 out of 5 stars An unique and moving collection of writings!
Stories and Stone: Writing the Anasazi Homeland is a beautifully conceived, designed, and engaging work. The book sheds new light and understanding on the ancestral puebloan people. Reuben Ellis' forward and introductory essays to each excerpt engender a deeper appreciation and cultural awareness of the southwest and its history. Excerpts from Tony Hillerman, Wallace Stegner, Marietta Wetherill, Frank Waters, and Terry Tempest Williams were among my favorite--leaving me with a strong desire find and camp in a secluded canyon beneath the silent, ghostly ruins of the Anasazi ...

Product Description
Since the 1960s, large-scale cultural resource managementprojects have revealed the former presence of extensive and variedBasketmaker III populations across the entire northernSouthwest. These discoveries have resulted in a greatly expanded viewof the BMIII period (A.D. 550-750) which immediately proceeds thePueblo phase.Particularly noteworthy are findings of Basketmakerremains under those of later periods and in sites with open settings,as opposed to the more classic Basketmaker cave and rock sheltersites.Foundations of Anasazi Culture explores this new evidence insearch of further understanding of Anasazi development. Severalchapters address the BMII-BMIII transition, including the initialproduction and use of pottery, greater reliance on agriculture, andthe construction of increasingly elaborate structures.Other chaptersmove beyond the transitional period to discuss key elements of theAnasazi lifeway, including the use of gray-, red-, and white-wareceramics, pir structures, storage cists, surface rooms, fulldependence on agriculture, and varying degrees of socialspecialization and differentiation.A number of contributions addressone or more of these issues as they occur at specific sites. Othercontributors consider the material culture of the period in terms ofcommon elements in architecture, ceramics, lithic technology, anddecorative media.This major synthesis of recent work on BMIII siteson the Colorado Plateau will be useful to anyone with an interest inthe earliest days of Anasazi civilization. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Big and Beautiful
This book has tons of color and B&W pictures and some of the best pictures of the southwest ruins you are ever going to find.It also has numerous site maps illustrating the ruins and their vicinity.The pictures are not just your everyday tourbook photos.They are spectacular.The author mixes numerous aerial shots that show you overviews of the sites and mixes in a generous amount of detail shots to help you see what the sites look like when you are there.There are also sketches and conceptual drawings which tell about the history.Just because there are a lot of photos, do not think the text is lacking.The book has all you would ever need to know about the sites including history, archeological finds etc.It accomplishes this amazingly enough without boring the reader.The most important thing about this book is that it is comprehensive.An example is its description of Mesa Verde park which is 44 pages of text and pictures.The section includes a detailed description of the stops you can make off ruins road as well as maps and pictures of sites you can't even access.Overall, this is the book you want to have when you plan your trip and the one you want on your coffee table to show your friends and family where you have been.A must have for anyone fascinated by the Anasazi culture.
