| Summary: | Casas Grandes (Paquime) has gained prominence as the subject of
books and articles since Charles C. Di Peso and his colleagues, John Rinaldo and GIoria
Fenner, published their 8-volume master work in 1974: 'Casas Grandes: A Fallen
Trading Center of the Gran Chichimeca'. The volume reviewed here contains an
introduction by the editors followed by 18 essays written by 28 scholars, and organized
into 4 sections: The Core Area (7); The Outer Sphere (3); The Larger View (7); and
Toward a New Synthesis (I). It is dedicated to the memory of J. Charles Kelley and
Daniel Wolfman, and the death of Oement Meighan, one of the contributors, is noted in
the Acknowledgments. This volume is the product of a 1995 symposium - "The Casas
Grandes Interaction Sphere: Origins, Nature, Contacts, and Legacy" - held as part of the
Durango (Colorado) Conference on Southwest Archaeology. |
