"Points, Pithouses, and Pioneers places Durango archaeology into the wider context of Southwestern and world archaeology, introducing the general reader to some of the developments in interpretation. It uncovers the potential wealth of knowledge that lies beneath U.S. cities, and it demonstrates how the public has the choice either to destroy or to preserve the past.".

"This book is for professional and amateur archaeologists as well as casual visitors wanting to learn a little bit more about this area."--BOOK JACKET.
