Archaeologies of the Pueblo Revolt

the long version

"Archaeologies of the Pueblo Revolt addresses the roles of architecture and settlement in the objectification of Puebloan social and political identities; the ways in which material culture legitimized and mobilized social groups; and the social and political dynamics during the revolt period, with particular emphasis on identity, alliance formation, and patterns of warfare. As the authors here demonstrate, not only did material culture establish, subvert, and transform a set of meanings that served in the seventeenth century and still serve today as vital cultural resources for Pueblo people, but archaeology can open new areas of inquiry into the underlying causes and ultimate effects of the Pueblo Revolt."--BOOK JACKET.
