The Social Construction of Communities : Agency, Structure, and Identity in the Prehispanic Southwest PDF
Edited by Mark D. Varien, James M. Potter
Part of the Archaeology in Society series
Description
The Social Construction of Communities draws on archaeological research in the Southwest to examine how communities are created through social interaction.
The archaeological record of the Southwest is important for its precise dating, exceptional preservation, large number of sites, and length of occupation-making it most intensively researched archaeological regions in the world.
Taking advantage of that rich archaeological record, the contributors to this volume present case studies of the Mesa Verde, Rio Grande, Kayenta, Mogollon, and Hohokam regions.
The result is an enhanced understanding of the ancient Southwest, a new appreciation for the ways in which humans construct communities and transform society, and an expanded theoretical discussion of the foundational concepts of modern social theory.
