Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Akins analyzed the human remains from Chaco Canyon that have been excavated since 1890. She visited many of the collections including ones at the Field Museum in Chicago, the National Museum in Washington, D.C., the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the Peabody Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Arizona State University in Tempe from 1977 to 1981. Akins discusses how the burials were excavated, the problems with the data base, the biological characteristics of the collection, and the health of the population such as can be seen from the skeletal remains. Comparisons are made between the great house and small-site residents.
