prehistoric pueblo world, a.d. 1150-1350 • Tucson • Published In 1996 • Pages: 241-254

AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Wilcox takes a regional approach to the Pueblo III period, examining the area from the regional perspective of southwestern North America and discussing regional interactions, such as long-distance trade. He examines interactions between Anasazi communities based on the distance a person could travel in one day on foot and then proposes a Chacoan macroregional system. Interactions across regional boundaries along long-distance trade routes, with boundaries of five travel days are examined. Wupatki is proposed as a gateway community or trading center between the Anasazi and the Hohokam that was founded by the Kayenta Anasazi. Other changes in settlement patterns may also be due to villages being placed along the trade routes, while some of the warfare may be due to '[i]ntertribal conflict to control the exchange flows ...' (page 248-a). To understand the events of the Pueblo III period, Wilcox believes Southwestern archaeologists must become American archaeologists and examine the macroregional processes.
