AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this article the authors examine settlement patterns in southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah between AD 1100 and 1300. After a presentation of the analytical methods used by the authors, they examine settlement pattern cycles before AD 1100. Next they look south of the San Juan River to assess the impact of trends in the Chaco drainage on settlement patterns north of the river in the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries. A discussion then follows on changing settlement patterns - cycles of population dispersion and aggregation - beginning in AD 1150 and culminating in the abandonment of the region by AD 1300. The article concludes with a synthesis of recent research into the causes of that abandonment (p. 86).
