These writings are the result of my 25-year fascination with the Anasazi and their ancestral homes. In that time, I have guided visitors at Chaco Culture National Historical Park, Aztec Ruins National Monument, and Pipe Springs National Monument, visited sites so well tucked away that you won't find them on any maps, and read just about everything I could about the Anasazi.
My adventures have been assisted by professionals who have devoted their lives to studyng the Anasazi and protecting their ancestral homes: Peter Pilles, Archaeologist in the Coconino National Forest; Bruce Mellberg, Chief of Interpretation, at Navajo National Monument; Jennifer Lavris, archaeologist at Canyon de Chelly National Monument; Jim Kleindon, Research Archaeologist
at Mesa Verde National Park; Kenneth R. Wright, Wright Paleohydrological Institute; Suzan M.W. Craig, Museum Educator, at Canyons of the Ancients National Monument; Andrea Bornemeier, Director of Interpretation and Resource Management at Pipe Spring National
Monument; Russ Bodnar, Director of Interpretation, as well as Dabney Ford and Roger Moore archaeologists at Chaco Culture National Historic Park; Paul Reed, Preservation Archaeologist, and Larry Barker, Museum Director, at Salmon Ruin; George Herring, Ranger and fellow enthusiast, at Aztec National Monument.
Fortunate coincidences also afforded me opportunities to discuss the work with Stephen Plog, Professor of Anthropology and Associate Dean for Academic Programs, University of Virginia; Jim Judge, former director of the Chaco Project; Tom Windes, NPS Archaeologist and former member of the Chaco Project; and Christy Turner, Regents’ Professor of Anthropology at Arizona State University.
Finally, friends in the Hopi Tribe and Navajo Nation have contributed their own perspectives and shared their insights with me.
