Paul Martin was a giant within the field of archeology before the age of computers, and of the southwest in particular, and this later book is a must have in the science library. Nicely bound large sized volume with maps, photos, drawings, etc.

Paul Martin was a giant of archeology in the days before computer modeling. He wrote books for the lay person, as well as for the professional in the field. This book is an introductory overview of Native American culture before European influence. Must have book for the science library.
