About this title

From the Publisher:

"Gorgeous full-color photographs of the many ruins found in Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico enhance this book, which details Lourie's personal journey to this sacred site.  In the clear, interesting text, the author describes the stone buildings and relates information gleaned from his guide, Gwinn Vivian, a local archaeologist.  Lourie has taken care to relate what is known about the structures and the people who built them and to point out that much about this culture remains a mystery."

School Library Journal  January 2004

Follow Peter Lourie on his explorations with archaeologist Gwinn Vivian to better understand how scientists use patterns and artifacts to form their theories.
