Clay, Copper, and Turquoise
More than one thousand years ago, northwestern New Mexico's Chaco Canyon hosted a spectacular culture. The canyon was a hub of ceremony, trade, and administration for the Four Corners area-unlike anything before or since. The museum collection of Chaco Culture National Historical Park includes everything from finely handcrafted pottery, to delicately beaded necklaces, to durable yet artful shoes. Clay, Copper, and Turquoise makes these objects available to the general public for the first time. The pieces came from the daily lives of the Chacoan people-created by their hands or obtained through trade. Fashioned with care, skill, and a sense of beauty, these objects bring the past alive and paint a picture of a people living in an extraordinary land, in an extraordinary time. Book jacket.
