Fowler Prize\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe “abandonment” of Mesa Verde and the formation of the Rio Grande Pueblos represent two classic events in North American prehistory. Yet, despite a century of research, no consensus has been reached on precisely how, or even if, these two events were related. In this landmark study, Scott Ortman proposes a novel and compelling solution to this problem through an investigation of the genetic, linguistic, and cultural heritage of the Tewa Pueblo people of New Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntegrating data and methods from human biology, linguistics, archaeology, and cultural anthropology, Ortman shows that a striking social transformation took place as Mesa Verde people moved to the Rio Grande, such that the resulting ancestral Tewa culture was a unique hybrid of ideas and practices from various sources. While addressing several long-standing questions in American archaeology, \u003ci\u003eWinds from the North \u003c\/i\u003ealso serves as a methodological guidebook, including new approaches to integrating archaeology and language based on cognitive science research. As such, it will be of interest to researchers throughout the social and human sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Utah Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047861469424,"sku":"9781607811725","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781607811725_p0.jpg?v=1763834350","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781607811725","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
