Not So Far from Paquimé

Jane Holden Kelley (1928–2016) joined the newly formed Department of Archaeology at the University of Calgary in 1968 and held multiple appointments there until (and after) her retirement in 1994.David A. Phillips Jr. is the director of the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology and a research associate professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico. Phillips has served as a principal investigator and program manager at the Museum of New Mexico and in the private sector.

“A concise, thoughtful, and comprehensive summary of many years of field work and subsequent research. Kelley’s personal ruminations bring the reader insights and issues that enhance the volume and are, unfortunately, all too often missing in archaeological literature.”—Michael S. Foster, archaeologist and editor of The Archaeology, Ethnohistory, and Environment of the Marismas Nacionales “The work is rich in details about different topics, including the botanic, the architecture, and the ceramic. The authors use not only American publications but also Mexican sources—a remarkable issue, because rarely do American or Mexican scholars quote their colleagues on the other side of the border.”—Jose Luis Punzo Diaz, profesor investigador, INAH MichoacÁn  “A tremendous contribution… I anticipate that well-thumbed versions of this volume will become a com­mon feature on the desks of archaeologists interested in the prehistory of the Mexican Northwest and U.S. Southwest. The concise, accessible, data-driven chapters on over twenty years of fieldwork, when combined with Kelley’s insightful chapters and conversational writing style, make this volume a delight to read, and a terrific final contribution from one of the trailblazers of North­west/Southwest archaeology.”—New Mexico Historical Review
