Abstract

'[The] study of chipped stone raw materials from Kayenta, Long House, and Klethla valleys was oriented toward testing the model of prehistoric warfare and alliance discussed in Chapter 1.' (page 181). Green analyzed the lithic materials from the sites in the study area to determine their geologic sources. She then conducted statistical analyses to determine whether there was a change in the use of the lithic raw materials between pre-Tsegi and Tsegi phases. In other words were people using more lithic materials closer to home and fewer materials from sources that may have been in enemy territory. 'In summary, it would appear that the chipped stone raw material analysis largely supported the model of decreased interaction between the Kayenta and Klethla valleys during the Pueblo III period, and the Tsegi Phase in particular.' (page 199).
