prehistoric pueblo world, a.d. 1150-1350 • Tucson • Published In 1996 • Pages: 205-213
By: Haas, Jonathan, Creamer, Winifred.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Haas and Creamer summarize their data on settlement patterns in the Kayenta region and how the archaeological data indicate warfare played a central role during the Pueblo III period there. They then go on to discuss examples of defensive sites in other areas. They point out that warfare is only one option in the face of deteriorating environmental conditions, but when compared to known ethnographic raiding parties, all of the Anasazi area is within raiding party travel limits.
