About This Book

The narrative draws on archaeological research, local legend, and the author's observations to reconstruct life in Frijoles Canyon from prehistoric settlement through later eras. It surveys architectural phases including large communal houses, kivas, and cliff dwellings, describes pottery and other artifacts, and outlines daily activities, social organization, and seasonal movement. Chapters trace occupation at Tyuonyi, building techniques of the Great Period, a return to cliff habitation, and changes after European contact to more recent times. Intended for the general reader, the account combines descriptive restorations, maps and illustrations with a glossary of regional terms.
