THE RISE AND COLLAPSE OF VILLAGES IN THE CENTRAL MESA VERDE REGION --$tAppendix A --$tAppendix B --$tNotes on Contributors --$tIndex 330 $aAncestral Pueblo farmers encountered the deep, well watered, and productive soils of the central Mesa Verde region of Southwest Colorado around A.D. 600, and within two centuries built some of the largest villages known up to that time in the U.S. Southwest. But one hundred years later, those villages were empty, and most people had gone. This cycle repeated itself from the mid-A.D. 1000's until 1280, when Puebloan farmers permanently abandoned the entire northern Southwest. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this book examines how climate change, population size, interpersonal conflict, resource depression, and changing social organization contribute to explaining these dramatic shifts. Comparing the simulations from agent-based models with the precisely dated archaeological record from this area, this text will interest archaeologists working in the Southwest and in Neolithic societies around the world as well as anyone applying modeling techniques to understanding how human societies shape, and are shaped by the environments we inhabit. 410 0$aOrigins of human behavior and culture ;$v6. 606 $aPueblo Indians$zColorado$zMesa Verde National Park$xHistory 606 $aPueblo Indians$xAgricuture$zColorado$zMesa Verde National Park 606 $aPueblo Indians$zColorado$zMesa Verde National Park$xAntiquities 607 $aMesa Verde National Park (Colo.)$xAntiquities 615 0$aPueblo Indians$xHistory. 615 0$aPueblo Indians$xAgricuture 615 0$aPueblo Indians$xAntiquities. 676 $a978.8/27 701 $aKohler$b Timothy A$g(Timothy Alan),$f1949-$01478241 701 $aVarien$b Mark$01084890 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790014003321 996 $aEmergence and collapse of early villages$93839178 997 $aUNINA
