Recognized as a World Heritage Site, these magnificent ruins are consistently featured in scholarly books and popular media. Yet, like Chaco itself, these buildings are anomalous in Southwestern archaeology and much debated.In a century of study, our understanding and means of approaching these ruins have grown considerably. Important tree-ring dating, GIS research, and computer imaging point to the need for a new volume on Chaco architecture that unifies older information with the new.The chapters in this volume focus on Chaco Great Houses and consider three overlapping themes: studies of technology and building types, analyses of architectural change, and readings of the built environment. To aid reconsideration there are over 150 maps, floor plans, elevations, and photos, including a number of color illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51979438326048,"sku":"NEW0874809487","price":34.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-architecture-of-chaco-canyon-new-mexico-chaco-canyon-series-0874809487","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
