Excerpt from Small Site Architecture of Chaco Canyon, New MexicoSeparate volumes, one for Great Pueblos and another for small sites might suggest that the Chaco Project found a formula for distinguishing the Great from the small, but this is not so. Truell discusses this problem and its implications at some length in her study. Almost everyone concerned with the Chaco Project now sees small and large sites as a continuum rather than a dichotomy. Why, then, publish two volumes on Chaco architecture instead of one? The answer to this question has sure to do with the historical development of the Chaco Project than with the archaeological evidence. We need to consider that history, briefly, to understand how the present volume came to be, and what the reader should and should not expect from it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
