From the Preface:

More archaeology has been done in the southwestern United States than in any other area of comparable size in the world. After a century of excavation, archaeologists realize how little they know of the prehistoric people of the Southwest, even though the broad outlines of the story have been discernible for decades. Several major groups have been defined, among them the Anasazi, who lived in the region surrounding the point where the modern states of Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico meet. Dozens of archaeologists have devoted their lifetimes to studying the Anasazi. In the process, they have written many thousands of detailed pages describing the ruins, artifacts, and lifeway of these ancient people.

This book is an attempt to reduce the voluminous technical literature to a more easily grasped visual and verbal form, condensing the information that has been so painstakingly gathered on the Anasazi. It is the efforts of several generations of archaeologists and their co-workers that have made this book possible, but in the interest of brevity and readability, references are not given in the text. For the few original ideas expressed in the following pages, I will happily take the credit or blame, but the germs for those thoughts often have been planted by others
