Did the prehistoric peoples of the southwest have a written form of communication? What do their symbols really mean? What secrets from the past can we unlock? Archaeologist James Cunkle is researching the Raven Site Ruin in the White Mountains of Arizona and from that site is putting back together the pieces of pre-history. The Talking Pots of the past now share their secrets.

Treasures of Time: Fully Illustrated Guide to Prehistoric Ceramics of Southwest

A collection of oddly informative columns by The Arizona Republic's Clay Thompson. The first book, Valley 101: A Slightly Skewed Guide to Living in Arizona, was all things Arizona. This time around, we've brought together the best of the best, much of which has absolutely nothing to do with the Grand Canyon state except for the origin of the question (and sometime not even that). Chapters include Plants/Animals/Bugs, Arizona, Human Body, Weather/Science, and Miscellaneous. If you are a fan of Clay, you have to get ahold of this book. It'll make you laugh!
