"A History of the Ancient Southwest" Revisited
Author(s): Stephen Lekson
Year: 2024
Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
"A History of the Ancient Southwest" was published 15 years ago. How would I re-write it today? After a brief review of that aging narrative, I’ll revisit several key points, threads, and themes in light of new information and understandings. I will explore the importance of continental-scale contexts, hinted but not fully developed in the book. And I will assess the place of History in current and future Southwestern archaeology.
