"Emil Haury stands as one of the finest archaeologists of the American Southwest. He skills were sharpened by the best mentors--Cummings, Douglass, Gladwin--and eventually Haury's excavations became the definitive work on the Mogollon and Hohokam cultures. . . . This work is a 'best of Haury' collection of many of his previously published works, with excellent introductory essays by colleagues and noted archaeologists--gathered into one, readable volume."--Choice "Emil Haury is virtually beyond compare among southwestern archaeologists....the republication together of so many so many seminal publications is in itself a powerful commentary on the history and direction of Americanist archaeology."--American Antiquity "Will be of considerable interest to those who are serious in learning about the Southwest's prehistory and wish to gain insight concerning the process of archaeological discovery."--The Explorer "This is an especially valuable and unique book on southwestern archaeology. Not only does it pull together many of the most significant and diverse writings of a long-time leader in the field, but it has succinct descriptions and straightforward appraisals of the wide range of endeavors in which Emil Haury participated."--New Mexico Historical Review "This collection of Haury's best papers gives added value with its updated bibliographies, one of which is a complete listing of the publication of Emil W. Haury, the doyen of southwestern archaeologists."--Books of the Southwest
