Summary note

"The two volumes of Bioarchaeology of the Southwest bring together more than 100 years of research into the lives of the ancient people of the Southwest United States and Northwest Mexico. Featuring contributions from specialists working in academic, museum, and cultural resource management settings, these books make available knowledge from a variety of unpublished sources that have been difficult to access until now. The volume 1 chapters range from Colorado to central New Mexico and the Lower Pecos region of Texas, addressing the bioarchaeology of the Archaic hunters and foragers, the Basketmaker II people, and communities of the Mesa Verde region, Chaco Canyon, the Middle San Juan or Totah region, the Northern Rio Grande, and the Middle Rio Grande. Chapters discuss topics such as morphology and stature, biodistance, paleopathology, dental health, evidence of injuries and violence, and mortuary practice. Chapters in volume 2 include northern and southern Arizona, southwest New Mexico, and northern Mexico. The contributors summarize findings about people of the Sinagua, Kayenta, Mimbres, Hohokam, and Trincheras traditions and the Casas Grandes region. Four topically focused chapters discuss evidence of cancer in the Southwest, biological distance in Colonial-era populations, stable isotope studies, and archaeoparasitology. The concluding chapter reviews the strengths and challenges in the field, and some avenues for progress."-- Provided by publisher.
