Recensioner i media

A valuable contribution to Puebloan prehistory. Its serious attempt to link Pueblo beliefs and practices with evident precursors involves a laudable cultural-historical realism too long pooh-poohed by archaeology's fashionable formalisms."—New Mexico Historical Review"A valuable and useful contribution to the archaeology of the Southwest."—American Anthropologist“Both in scale and in scope, the book is large; the interpretations are adventurous.”—Choice
