Notes: Archaeological Series 162.  Volume 3 of a 7 volume set.  All volumes sold separately.  “The principal focus of this volume is a reconsideration of the construction history and organization of the Mound 8 precinct at Las Colinas.  Seven states of mound construction were identified, with some changes in construction methods and mound configuration over time….From these physical changes, shifts in the function and use of Mound 8 have been inferred.  Among these is an apparent transition from a predominantly ritual function to one of residence, probably by an elite group within the general population.”  (From the Abstract)
