Better With Two

By Barbara M. Joosse

The Chichimec Sea is a metaphorical term for that large area of mountain, desert, and desiccated lake bed that covers much of northern Mexico and parts of the southwestern United States. Aboriginally--indeed, well into his?toric times--this large area was inhab?ited by diverse bands of Indians who had in common mainly the fact that they shared neither in the complex civi?lization of Mesoamerica nor the sub-?Mesoamerican cultures of the Greater Southwest. This comprehensive and unified vol?ume of original essays deals with the complex problems of interaction--across and around the Chichimec Sea--between Mesoamerica and the South?west. The twenty contributions to this volume, by anthropologists, archaeol?ogists, geographers, ethnohistorians, and ethnobotanists, all deal with diverse aspects of the problem of Mesoamerican?-Southwest contacts.
