Pecos Pueblo, a prehistoric site that is now a National Monument just a few miles from Santa Fe, New Mexico, has been a focus of archaeological interest throughout the twentieth century, in part because the Pecos area offers the possibility of a combined ethnographic, archaeological, and historical study. Rowe ruin, about a mile from Pecos Pueblo, was first excavated in 1917 by Carl Guthe but not studied systematically for some sixty years thereafter. The 1980s excavations reported in this book were undertaken by University of New Mexico archaeologists in an effort to learn the relationship between social complexity and environmental conditions.This report comprises a discussion of Rowe ruin including summaries of the environment both today and in prehistoric times, the history of research at the site, and a commentary on the process of site aggregation in the Pecos area in comparison with other localities in the northern Rio Grande valley. Also included are a transcription of the 1917 field notes of Carl Guthe, as well as technical reports on botanical, faunal, and ceramic remains and site surveys. Professional and amateur archaeologists with an interest in Puebloan societies will welcome the appearance of this long-awaited volume.

From back cover: Herr is the most up-to-date and accurate story of the Anasazi and their fascinating world. This ancient civilization disappeared from the Southwest by A.D. 1300, leaving behind their amazing cliff dwellings, but few other clues as to their existence. Noted anthropologist, Linda Cordell, has written an informative text for Anasazi World that races the clues and waves the most complete story of these people to date. Professional photographer Dewitt Jones has journeyed throughout the ruins on numerous trips including assignments under contract with the National Geographic Society.
