""Shabik'eshchee Village a Late Basket Maker Site in the Chaco Canyon, New Mexico"" is a seminal archaeological study detailing one of the most significant sites in the American Southwest. Written by Frank H. H. Roberts, this work provides an exhaustive examination of a Basket Maker III period settlement located within the Chaco Canyon region of New Mexico. The book documents the transition from nomadic lifestyles to more permanent agricultural communities, offering deep insights into the architecture, subterranean pit houses, and storage bins that characterized this early era of development.
The text meticulously describes the material culture uncovered during the excavation process, including diverse pottery types, stone tools, and bone implements. By analyzing the structural remains and recovered artifacts, Roberts establishes a clear chronological framework for the Late Basket Maker phase and its evolutionary relationship to the later Pueblo periods. This volume is an essential resource for those interested in the prehistory of the Four Corners region and the cultural trajectory of the Ancient Puebloan peoples. It serves as a foundational text in North American archaeology, capturing a pivotal moment in the development of sedentary village life in the high desert of the Southwest.
