Notes: Knowing that Copy 1 above came from Bob Lister, and the Listers threw away all the dust jackets for their books, I would guess this dust jacket is from another copy of the same book.   Initially designed for use as a textbook it has become a classic of regional archaeology (includes Chaco and Mesa Verde).   Arizona itself has been occupied since 10,000 B.C.
