By: Ferguson, T. J. (Thomas John).
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Ferguson examines the integrative role kivas play in Pueblo social structure and how archaeologists think the social structure has changed through time. The author begins this study with comments on Kroeber's ethnographic investigation of how kivas functioned to integrate Zuni society in 1916 which he (the author) believes is pertinent to the intellectual history of how archaeologists have conceptualized Puebloan social organization. In concluding this article Ferguson presents a brief discussion on the role of architecture in integrating society.
