PDF-(BOOS)-Ancient Peoples of the American Southwest (Ancient Peoples and Places)

The American Southwest is home to some of the most remarkable monuments of Americas prehistoric past such as Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde Visitors marvel at the impressive ruined pueblos and spectacular cliff dwellings but often have little idea of the cultures that produced these prehistoric wonders Stephen Plog who has spent decades working in the region provides the most readable and uptodate account of the predecessors of the modern Hopi and Pueblo Indian cultures in this wellreceived account Ten thousand years ago humans first colonized this seemingly inhospitable landscape with its scorching hot deserts and freezing upland areas The initial huntergatherer bands gradually adapted to become sedentary village groups and the high point of Southwestern civilization was reached with the emergence of cultures known to archaeologists as Anasazi Hohokam and Mogollon in the first millennium AD Chaco Canyon became the center of a thriving Anasazi cultural tradition It was the hub of a trading network extending over hundreds of miles whose arteries were a series of extraordinary roads that are still being discovered and mapped To the south lay the settlement of Snaketown focus of the Hohokam where the inhabitants built courts for a ritual ball gameintriguing echoes of ancient Mexican practices The Mogollon people of the Mimbres Valley created some of the worlds finest ceramics decorated with human figures and mythical creatures Interweaving the latest archaeological evidence with early firstperson accounts Professor Plog explains the rise and mysterious fall of Southwestern cultures As he concludes despite the depredations and diseases introduced by the Europeans the Southwest is still home to vibrant Native American communities that carry on many of the old traditions.

Long famous for their colossal heads carved from giant boulders, the Olmecs have fascinated the public and archaeologists alike since the 1940s when National Geographic magazine reported the initial explorations of their centers. Despite well-publicized discoveries of spectacular basalt sculptures, portable jade objects, and richly decorated pottery vessels, until recently almost nothing was known about Olmec history, foreign contacts, and daily life. Now archaeologists have recovered information that allows them to assemble a reasonably complete picture of Olmec culture and its impact on later Mexican civilizations.The Olmecs established the first cities in the Americas on high ground overlooking the rivers that meander across southeastern Mexico\'s fertile coastal lowlands. Between the thirteenth and sixth centuries BC, rulers of San Lorenzo and La Venta oversaw the construction of palaces, pyramids, plazas, richly stocked tombs, and religious sanctuaries, and commissioned hundreds of sculptures carved from raw basalt. Thousands of Olmec farmers supported themselves and their leaders by growing maize and other domesticated plants. Rulers and priests interceded on behalf of the entire society with the gods and spirits, while merchants ventured into distant lands searching for rare stones, shells, animal pelts, feathers, and exotic foods such as cacao.The Olmecs presents the first modern overview of information from recent archaeological field projects and studies of Olmec art. Profusely illustrated, it will become the standard work on this enigmatic culture.
