Developed over the course of centuries and thriving for over two hundred years, the Chacoans' society collapsed dramatically in the twelfth century in a mere forty years. David E. Stuart incorporates extensive new research findings through groundbreaking archaeology to explore the rise and fall of the Chaco Anasazi and how it parallels patterns throughout modern societies in this new edition. Adding new research findings on caloric flows in prehistoric times and investigating the evolutionary dynamics induced by these forces as well as exploring the consequences of an increasingly detached central Chacoan decision-making structure, Stuart argues that Chaco's failure was a failure to adapt to the consequences of rapid growth--including problems with the misuse of farmland, malnutrition, loss of community, and inability to deal with climatic catastrophe. Have modern societies learned from the experience and fate of the Chaco Anasazi, or are we risking a similar cultural collapse?"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPueblo Indians$xAntiquities 606 $aChaco culture 606 $aPueblo Indians$xSocial life and customs 606 $aHuman ecology$vCase studies 606 $aSocial change$vCase studies 607 $aChaco Canyon (N.M.)$xAntiquities 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPueblo Indians$xAntiquities. 615 0$aChaco culture. 615 0$aPueblo Indians$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aSocial change 676 $a978.9004/974 700 $aStuart$b David E.$0950835 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453493503321 996 $aAnasazi America$92149695 997 $aUNINA
