Title: A strong challenge to the orthodox portrayal of Chaco
Product review: An excellent book for both students and professional archaeologists interested in the prehistory of the Southwest. His analysis of the Chaco outliers leads to a new formulation for the role of "downtown Chaco." Be prepared for the concept of a "Chaco Hegemony" based upon the outliers - a wonderful explanation. He integrates Pueblo oral history to add color to his model. Easy to read. Highly recommended.
