Anasazi 101

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: "Enemy Ancestors" is a traveler's guide as well as a "textbook." You don't have to know a lot about American Indian culture, archaeology, or history to enjoy and learn from this crash-course about the different pre-European inhabitants of the Four Corners area of the Southwestern United States. Gary Matlock leads us through the stories of these different peoples as pieced together from discoveries in their mysteriously abandoned architecture, cities, pottery, roads, canals, and items found in their trash heaps. Beautiful photographs by Scott Warren flesh out the text by illustrating examples of the art, structures, and landscapes. A guide at the end of the book lists agencies to contact before going to visit, what to expect, and tips on the manner of approach.
