Reviews for Alliance and Landscape on Perry Mesa in the Fourteenth Century
"The authors present new interpretations on a critical but little studied area for understanding the late pre-Hispanic era of central Arizona and the southern Southwest. Each chapter represents a scholarly and well-researched contribution that contains significant new information and contributes to the broader interpretive themes." —Paul R. Fish, professor of anthropology, University of Arizona
