Notes: Fireside archaeology. The Chaco Project in plain English. “What was one new chapter in the 1999 edition has become four new chapters in this 2005 edition…In those new chapters (12 to 15) I describe new studies by Tom Windes and Dabney Ford examining how the Chacoans cut, processed, finished, and transported the wood to create their impressive structures; studies by two different scientific groups, the most recent by Steve Durand, using modern chemical evidence to identify the locations of the distant forests that supplied that wood; a fascinating study by John Stein, Richard Friedman, and Dabney Ford combining classic archaeological analysis with modern geographic information systems and the global positioning system to reenvision and precisely ‘reconstruct’ the Chacoans’ iconic Pueblo Bonito in its different construction phases over two-plus centuries.” (From the Preface to the 2005 Edition). Includes a two page appendix “Chaco Place Names”.
