| Summary: | This collection of 15 documents, all in English, discusses the Late Anasazi tradition in New Mexico, western Texas, northern Mexico, and eastern Arizona from 700 BP - 450 BP (AD 1300-1550). Adams (1996) provides an overview for the whole area of the Late Anasazi tradition, although he only explores the changes that occurred in the Hopi area over the Pueblo III-IV time period. Upham (1982) examines the political organization and political development of the Western Pueblo Groups: the Hopi, Zuni, and Acoma. Adams (1991) also writes about how the Katsina cult helped the Late Anasazi villages to integrate the influx of immigrants and allowed them to flourish. A majority of the documents are concerned with settlement patterns. Ferguson (1996) uses the theory of space syntax in his study of historic Zuni settlements in order to shed light on the prehistori and protohistoric settlements. Kintigh (1985), however, examines the archaeological settlements around Zuni to understand why the settlement system changed over time. Orcutt (1991) examines some of the reasons behind changes in settlement patterns and land use. Adler et al. (1996) explain the importance of examining both "push" and "pull" models when exploring aggregation and abandonment of settlements. Spielmann (1996) summarizes the data on settlement patterns in northeastern New Mexico for the Pueblo II-Pueblo IV periods while Crown et al. (1996) cover the settlement patterns for the northern Rio Grande area in north central New Mexico. Analysis of human skeletal remains form the basis of archaeological studies on demography. Martin (1994) discusses indicators of health and nutrition in the Southwest from around 1000 BC to AD 1550 with an emphasis on AD 900 to 1550. Nelson et al. (1994) also examine Anasazi health and provide life tables and mortality curves. Warfare and raiding were significant factors in the life of the Anasazi who lived during the late Early Anasazi to the early Late Anasazi time period. Wilcox and Haas (1994) review the evidence for warfare, raiding, violence, and conflict in the Southwest from Basketmaker II to the Pueblo IV period and include the Anasazi, Basketmaker, Hohokam, and Mogollon traditions. LeBlanc (1997) also examines warfare in the Southwest with an emphasis on the intense warfare that occurred between AD 1250-1400. |
