| Summary: | This manuscript presents an important view of prehistoric Southwestern people to the general public, students and professional archaeologists. Centered on the time period AD 900 to 1450 and the Ancestral Puebloan, Mogollon and Hohokam culture areas, the work assumes most people are interested in knowing how these early Southwesterners looked, dressed and talked. Archaeologists rarely address these topics, as they are more interested in broad behavioral patterns as reflected in the material record that reveals changes through time. However, Neitzel has tackled this topic with chapters devoted to clothing, ornaments, hair, facial decorations, speech and physical appearance, and to how archaeologists deduce these things. |
