Recent Analytical Contributions to Chacoan Archaeology
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 82nd Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC (2017)
This session highlights recent studies about Chaco Canyon archaeology which emphasize new research approaches to long-standing questions about the social, economic and organizational features that characterized the period of emergent complexity associated with the construction of "great houses" between ca. AD 800 and 1200. Contributions especially explore the role of scientific methods, quantitative analysis and geospatial techniques in addressing a range of critical explanatory issues.
