“At the peak of its population, Arroyo Hondo Pueblo was an impressive settlement composed of 1,000 rooms clustered symmetrically around tend plaza and housing well over a thousand people.  An arm of the southern Rocky Mountains served as a backdrop for the pueblo on the east, and to the south and west there were unobstructed views over grasslands to distant mountains.  The town’s active life lasted slightly more than a century, encompassing two separate episodes of rapid growth, each followed by precipitous decline.  To understand both its dynamic and its transitory nature, Arroyo Hondo must be seen from two perspectives; externally, as part of centuries-long expansion and contraction of agricultural villaes in response to climate change in the northern Rio Grand region and, internally, in terms of its own life history.” (From the Foreword to Volume 3).  SOLD AS A SET ONLY.  Separate volumes are also available, see individual volume titles.  After Volume 6 all other Arroyo Hondo volumes published in the 8½” x 11″ trim size, as opposed to these volumes in the 6″ x 9″ trim size.
