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
