It uses the term Anasazi to refer to ancestral Puebloans, which is not the preferred terminology. It also states that they used, "clumsy wooden spears tipped with stone arrowheads." With the use of atlatls, these spears were anything but clumsy. Neolithic peoples took down mammoths with the same technology. It gives nice information on the structures they built, but that's about it's only redeeming value. Anasazi by Leonard Everett Fisher is a picture book with longer, multi-paragraph informational sections on each page. The book would likely be most appropriate for a middle school social studies class. The book details the culture, history, and bits of the language of the Anasazi. It also includes information about the construction of pueblos, and the agricultural endeavors of the Anasazi people, and includes brief information about the principal descendants of the Anasazi, including the Hopi, Zuni, Pueblo, and Acoma. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This book starts before the Anasazi made a settlement and ends with the complete disappearance of the culture, roughly 500-1300. A timeline was included as an access feature and this was effective at allowing me to think about how long a period of time this covered. He went into detail about the different periods and how they evolved from the previous groups. They built non permanent structures, pueblos, and then, most famously, buildings carved into mountains. The artifacts that were distinct in the Anasazi culture were found in Native populations in the surrounding regions. They abandoned their settlements and integrated into other Native groups.
Anasazi meant "ancient ones" or "ancient enemies" in Native languages. We aren't even sure how they were viewed in their own time. Even without a primary source, the story of this civilization has been assembled through deduction and archaeology. This book did a good job of letting me see a culture and understand how information is interpreted through time. ( )
