New Light on Chaco Canyon

Terrific book that will accompany us on an upcoming trip to Chaco Canyon. Great photos and information

Nice o review of Chaco Canyon. I bought it to read up on the site before I visit this fall. A bit dated, but very informative. Worth buying it. The book includes a chapter on the Navaho, who still live in the region. They are often neglected in these archeological treatises.

While the book is dated in the 1980s..it has valuable maps and pictures and vital descriptions of the ruins in Chaco. Definitely a good purchase for your trip to Chaco or wanting to learn more about this mystical place.

This book has been put together and edited by one person. It is written by a number of authors. Each author writes about a different topic. There are also different views about the same topic. Book goes through some of the changes of the canyon and its peoples. Also, the purpose of this particular site. Very Interesting.

Essays on art, architecture, archaeology, outliers and roads, rock Art, archaeoastronomy, Chaco Navajo people, and the environment of the Chaco ancient Puebloans, written by recognized experts as of 1984. Published as an issue of the annual bulletin of the School of American Research. Many small black-and-white photos and several color ones, illustrating all the articles. Photos include historic photos and aerial photos.

Great book which debunks many of the myths concerning this mysterious place. Highly recommended.
