This course provides an overview of archaeology and ethnology of the Greater Southwest from the earliest occupants through the Spanish entrada and historic period.  We begin by looking at the natural setting the Southwest and then introduce some of the tools archaeologists have used to reconstruct the archaeological history of the region.  From there, we survey the earliest foraging societies, the development of agriculture and emergence of settled life and social complexity.  We then consider historic era pueblos and finish the course by reading an ethnography about the Tewa people.
