Specialists in Far Western Puebloan culture, architecture, settlement patterns, subsistence, chronometry, and prehistoric technologies make a compelling case that farming was introduced to the region by San Pedro immigrants, and that the blending of farmers with local foraging groups gave rise to a Basketmaker lifeway by 200 BC. This book marks a giant leap forward in archaeologists' understanding of the earliest maize farmers north and west of the Colorado River. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heidi Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1647690641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781647690649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Utah Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.50w x 1.10d","brand":"Heidi Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073131409663,"sku":"9781647690649","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b9470c0-5b02-460f-9f1b-27e365b2ac8d.jpg?v=1685446000","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/far-western-basketmaker-beginnings-heidi-roberts-9781647690649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
