Here the studies of archaeologists working in both the Southwest and the Great Basin are presented side by side to illustrate the similarities in environmental challenges and cultural practices of the prehistoric peoples who lived in these areas and to explore common research questions addressed by both regions.

Reviews for Late Holocene Research on Foragers and Farmers in the Desert West
“The authors provide an array of articles that highlight parallels in Southwestern and Great Basin research and show how theoretical approaches commonly used in one region may be usefully applied to the other. The papers illustrate through example, rather than by being prescriptive.” —Andrew Ugan, Far Western Anthropological Research Group
