An exuberant, hands-on fly-on-the-wall account that combines the thrill of canyoneering and rock climbing with the intellectual sleuthing of archaeology to explore the Anasazi.

David Roberts describes the culture of the Anasazi - the name means "enemy ancestors" in Navajo - who once inhabited the Colorado Plateau and whose modern descendants are the Hopi Indians of Arizona. Archaeologists, Roberts writes, have been puzzling over the Anasazi for more than a century, trying to determine the environmental and cultural stresses that caused their society to collapse 700 years ago. He guides us through controversies in the historical record, among them the haunting question of whether the Anasazi committed acts of cannibalism.

Roberts's book is full of up-to-date thinking on the culture of the ancient people who lived in the harsh desert country of the Southwest.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Roberts's] awe at the region's beauty, with its sheer cliffs, canyons and mesas, and at the testaments to an unknown culture will be contagious for readers." ( Publishers Weekly)

Must read for anyone interested in SW Indian history. Fabulous book. Exciting to read. Author makes it feel like you are there with him hiking hidden canyons in the 4-Corners region. Poor narrator who mis-pronounced all unfamiliar words, slaughtering words like canyon, shards (as in pot shards), burial, contoversy, Mesa (as in Mesa Verde), Chaco.

Excellent, compelling history of Anazazi

the story was interesting, the author brings up some interesting thworeticals about the nature of archaeology. I dont think I would like the author very much if we met in real life but still food for thought. the reader mispronounced provenance

interesting story, gave me some theoretical stuff to think about the nature of archaeology

The prose may be dry in places, (pun unintended) but the authors heart seems to be in the Colorado canyon country, otherwise known as Abbey’s Land. I enjoyed the book.

the first few hours are a bit tough to get through as he explains the history of archaeology in the southwest and of ancestral puebloan sites. But it ties together very nicely as the rest of the book focuses on HIS experiences in the field. very thoughtful, fun listen. well worth the time 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
