Notes: Published after Thompson’s death.  Thompson was one of the founders of the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, and a Durango/Mancos/Cortez semi-celebrity–author, raconteur, mayor (of Durango, CO).  “In a synthesis of Crow Canyon’s field research, Thompson gathered archaeologists’ and modern Puebloans’ perspectives and added his own reflections on landscape, community, and change.” (from the front flap).  More memoir of Thompson, and history of the Mesa Verde area, than archaeology.  Copy 1 includes Thank You card for contributing to the book’s publication.
