The archaeological interpretations are put into perspective by the inclusion of Hope and Zuni history and myth and the liberal use of ethnographic information from the Hopi and other historic and modern puebloan groups. A short fictional reconstruction of life in the village invites the reader to reflect on the fact that the past was a period occupied by people  not just potsherds. Based on four years of excavation and ten years of analysis of a puebloan site near modern Flagstaff  Arizona  this profusely illustrated volume captures readers interest and imagination as it explores some of the fundamental principles of archaeology.
