Shirley Powell 1948
Mobility and Adaptation: The Anasaze of Black Mesa Arizona
xviii161 pages with frontispiece maps chart tables and appendices. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/4" bound in original publisher's grey cloth with silver lettering to spine and cover with a decorative design to cover. Foreword by George J. Gumerman. First edition. Until now archaeologists have been capable of little more than speculation concerning the extent of human mobility in the prehistoric Southwest. According to George J. Gumerman in his Foreword to this book however "Shirley Powell’s study has changed that. Using a combination of archaeological and ethnological data she has been able to demonstrate that certain periods on Black Mesa in Northeastern Arizona are characterized by great mobility while at other times the Mesa had a more sedentary population. She has taken the question of seasonality in occupation from the realm of speculation to that of testable hypothesis." Powell’s major concern throughout this study is with behavior variability. Specifically she addresses the adequacy of "behavioral interpretations of material culture patterns for the Black Mesa region of northeastern Arizona." She notes that sometimes the descriptions from which explanations of variability are based are misleading or incorrect. Examining the relationships "among environment subsistence and mobility strategies" she emphasizes the role of seasonality in site locational strategies. Using data derived from ethnographic and ethnoarchaeological sources she develops a model of subsistence/settlement interrelationships which she tests by using "material culture remains from prehistoric sites." Condition: A near fine copy issued without jacket. Southern Illinois University hardcover

Conclusion; Suggestions for Further Reading; Index. SYNOPSIS: HOW MAN LIVED . . . A HALF A MILLION YEARS AGO In this intriguing study a distinguished scholar reconstructs the world of primitive man with the probing skill and suspense of a master detective. Utilizing recent archaeological discoveries the author's inquiry into the dawn of time uncovers some puzzling and fascinating facts: he tells why man and ape diverged; how man adapted to an arctic climate; why America was unpeopled before the last ice age; why painting first appeared in southwest Europe. He shows exactly how plants animals land formations and climates were the crucial forces in the development of Neolithic and Mesolithic cultures. Here is a unique picture of human society in a time when man was subject to rather than ruler of his total environment. - and - Man's conquest of his environment is a recent achievement; his past history has been dictated almost entirely by the conditions of his surroundings. He has had to survive ice ages and encroaching deserts; earthquake volcano wild beast and hostile terrain. This absorbing book examines man's environment from the dawn of the race and shows how the ancient human communities developed their various cultures depending upon the environment in which they lived. I. W. Cornwall reconstructs the primitive world with its radically different land forms river systems forestation and climate. He emphasizes the importance of land bridges; relates the discovery of irrigation and fertilization traces the patterns of prehistoric trade and the birth of industry with the use of gold copper silver and iron. He details the detection methods employed by archaeologists: how pollen-analysis has helped reveal the environment of Mesolithic man; how tree rings can document the climatic patterns of thousands of years ago. His provocative survey of an ancient world and the men who lived in it is beautifully illuminated by unusual diagrams drawings and maps. First Thus 1st Printing. Mass Market Paperback. Good.
