The site of a great Ancestral Pueblo center in the 11th and 12th centuries AD, the ruins in Chaco Canyon look like a city to some archaeologists, a ceremonial center to others. Chaco and the people who created its monumental great houses, extensive roads, and network of outlying settlements remain an enigma in American archaeology. Two decades after the latest and largest program of field research at Chaco (the National Park Service's Chaco Project from 1971 to 1982) the original researchers and other leading Chaco scholars convened to evaluate what they now know about Chaco in light of new theories and new data. Those meetings culminated in an advanced seminar at the School of American Research, where the Chaco Project itself was born in 1968. In this capstone volume, the contributors address central archaeological themes, including environment, organization of production, architecture, regional issues, and society and polity. They place Chaco in its time and in its region, considering what came before and after its heyday and its neighbors to the north and south, including Mesoamerica.

This book was presented the New Mexico Heritage Preservation Award of Honor in 1991.**This is the definitive scholarly reconstruction of the "Chacoan World" of the 10th- to 12th-century native Americans. These tribes built and lived in Pueblo Bonito, Aztec Ruin, Mesa Verde, and many of the other magnificent prehistoric pueblos scattered throughout the San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico, which are some of our most popular national parks and monuments today. The Chacoan Prehistory of the San Juan Basin will appeal to archaeologists interested in the American Southwest, including undergraduate and graduate students, and all amateur and professional archaeologists.
