{"product_id":"9780874809480","title":"The Architecture of Chaco Canyon, New Mexico","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe structures of Chaco Canyon, built by native peoples between AD 850 and 1130, are among the most compelling ancient monuments on earth. Recognized as a World Heritage Site, these magnificent ruins are consistently featured in scholarly books and popular media. Yet, like Chaco itself, these buildings are anomalous in Southwestern archaeology and much debated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a century of study, our understanding and means of approaching these ruins have grown considerably. Important tree-ring dating, GIS research, and computer imaging point to the need for a new volume on Chaco architecture that unifies older information with the new.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this volume focus on Chaco Great Houses and consider three overlapping themes: studies of technology and building types, analyses of architectural change, and readings of the built environment. To aid reconsideration there are over 150 maps, floor plans, elevations, and photos, including a number of color illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"UNIVERSITY OF UTAH PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51234845688082,"sku":"9780874809480","price":60.54,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9780874809480_38d1fa00-d701-4291-9d5c-27171696068d.jpg?v=1774736506","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9780874809480","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
