Discover information, advice, and prices for The Pursuit of Ruins Archaeology, priced at 36.85 $ : it belongs to the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
Famous for its majestic ruins Mexico has gone to great lengths to preserve and display the remains of its preHispanic past The Pursuit of Ruins argues that the government effort to take control of the ancient remains took off in the late nineteenth century during the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz Under Díaz Mexico acquired an official history more firmly rooted in Indian antiquity This prestigious pedigree served to counter Mexicos image as a backward peripheral nation The government claimed symbolic links with the great civilizations of preHispanic times as it hauled statues to the National Museum and reconstructed Teotihuacán Christina Bueno explores the different facets of the Porfirian archaeological project and underscores the contradictory place of indigenous identity in modern Mexico While the making of Mexicos official past was thought to bind the nation together it was an exclusionary process one that celebrated the civilizations of bygone times while disparaging contemporary Indians

Salado is an enigma of the past One of the most spectacular cultures of the ancient Southwest its brilliant polychrome pottery has been subjected to varied interpretations from religious cult to artistic horizon Stephen Lekson now uses data from two Salado sitesa large pueblo and a small farmsteadto clarify longstanding misconceptions about this culture By combining analysis of the large wholevessel collection at Dutch Ruin with the scientific excavation of Villareal II a picture of Salado emerges that enables Lekson to evaluate previous competing theories and propose that Salado represents a major fourteenthcentury migration of Pueblo peoples into the Chihuahuan deserts Lekson demonstrates that late shortlived Salado farmsteadsdifficult to identify archaeologically in areas with larger Mimbres concentrationscoexisted with larger Salado towns and he argues that Salado in the Upper Gila region appears as a substantial inmigration of Mogollon Uplands populations into what was a vacant river valley Throughout the fourteenth century Salado communities in the Upper Gila were integrated into the larger Salado horizon and were closely connected to Casas Grandes as indicated by the export of serpentine to the city of Paquimé and the occurrence of Casas Grandes pottery at Upper Gila Salado sites The book includes illustrations of 71 vessels from Dutch Ruin plus a fullcolor frontispiece Through analysis of these two sites Lekson has taken a large step toward clearing up the mystery of Salado His work will be welcomed by all who study the movements of peoples in the prehispanic Southwest
