About This Item
New York; (1990): Rizzoli. First Edition. Quarto. 239pp., illustrated with 223 illustrations of which 122 are in color. About 2000 years ago, the Anasazi culture flourished in the Southwest. The Anasazi people had no written history and insight into their way of life has been ascertained from archaeological evidence, the written records of Spanish explorers who had contact with them and the traditions of their Pueblo descendants. They were skilled farmers and creative craftsmen making jewelry, pottery, textiles, and beautifully decorated baskets. Bound in black cloth, spine lettering white. A fine copy in fine pictorial dust jacket.
