War in the Tribal Zone

1992. Edited by R. Brian Ferguson and Neil L.Whitehead; With a New Preface by the Editors

2001. Edited by Patricia L. Crown

The authors’ probe the time period during which Southwestern populations shifted from migratory gatherer-hunters to sedentary agriculturalists and from living in small bands to settling in large aggregated communities.
