PUEBLOS-Prehistoric
Indian Cultures Of The Southwest by Sylvio Acatos. In Pueblos, prize-winning
photographer Maximilien Bruggmann has captured stunning evidence of the
rich material culture of these tribes in more than 300 photographs-half
in full color-while Sylvio Acatos’ graceful text seeks not only to unravel
the story of their past, but also to place them into the greater context
of prehistoric peoples everywhere. This magnificent book traces the development
of the Pueblo cultures from the changes in architecture-including pit houses,
ceremonial kivas and massive complexes, perched on canyon walls-to the tools,
weapons and jewelry they fashioned out of quartz, obsidian, turquoise, bone
and other materials. Pueblos also highlights their everyday life, hunting
and farming, burial and religious practices and trade with the great Meso-American
civilizations to the South. 240 pages. Clothbound. Profusely Illustrated
