Notes: Second edition.  “Pollen analysis offers an approach to understanding the Southwestern environment, its history, and in some respects its possible future. Dr. Paul S. Martin’s study is an example of geochronology functioning as a strong interdisciplinary link among archaeologists, biogeographers, geologists, paleoclimatologists and ecologists.”  (from the publisher’s web site.  See  https://uapress.arizona.edu/book/the-last-10000-years)
