Book Preview:

#1 The Colorado Plateau is a 150,000-square-mile blister of land that rises across the dry confluence of Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. Its surface is incised with countless canyons and wrinkled into isolated mesas and mountain ranges that stand suddenly from the desert floor up to 13,000 feet in elevation.

#2 The Anasazi, a tribe that lived in the Colorado Plateau, were a wayfaring people who settled in places for only brief periods of time. They were suddenly gone around 1000 A. D. The flood that brought us to their site was traveling in the same direction as the Anasazi had been.

#3 The area around Chaco Canyon is a desert of oblivion. It is the most desolate place in northwest New Mexico, and it has only sparse ruins of ancient cultures.

#4 The great houses were not residences, but rather monuments, temples, or palaces. They had as few as ten residents for every fifty rooms, and most of the rooms were used for religious or ceremonial purposes.
