Summary note

"A Pueblo Social History is a brillant tour de force about the archaeology and ethnography of the American Southwest. This thoroughly accessible work is a major contribution to the field with its penetrating analysis of the multifaceted historical connections between the Ancestral Pueblos and the contemporary Eastern and Western Pueblos. John Ware raises a number of significant theoretical and methodological issues about the study of past communities that reach well beyond the borders of the Southwest. This provocative book is a must read for anyone interested in ancient kinship-based organizations, ritual sodalities, community-level architecture, ethnographies as historical destinations, and cutting-edge, holistic approaches to anthropology." -- Kent G. Lightfoot, University of California, Berkeley.
