- Synopsis
- A wide-ranging synthesis of research illuminating the lives of ancient people who lived in the deserts, mountains, and river valleys of the North American SouthwestThe two volumes of Bioarchaeology of the Southwest bring together more than 100 years of research into the lives of the ancient people of the Southwest United States and Northwest Mexico. Featuring contributions from specialists working in academic, museum, and cultural resource management settings, these books make available knowledge from a variety of unpublished sources that have been difficult to access until now.The volume 1 chapters range from Colorado to central New Mexico and the Lower Pecos region of Texas, addressing the bioarchaeology of the Archaic hunters and foragers, the Basketmaker II people, and communities of the Mesa Verde region, Chaco Canyon, the Middle San Juan or Totah region, the Northern Rio Grande, and the Middle Rio Grande. Chapters discuss topics such as morphology and stature, biodistance, paleopathology, dental health, evidence of injuries and violence, and mortuary practice.With chapters representing hundreds of ancient communities dating from the Archaic to the early Historic period, Bioarchaeology of the Southwest demonstrates the range of topics that can be addressed through the contextualized study of human remains, the insights this field offers into the everyday experiences of people in the past, and the challenges and promise of collaborative approaches to this research. Together, these volumes constitute an unparalleled resource for understanding the history of bioarchaeology and critical issues impacting the future of the discipline in the region.Contributors: Anna Osterholtz | Rachael Byrd | Genevieve Woodhead | Ann L.
