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.

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.
The Greater Chaco Landscape
Since the mid-1970s, government agencies, scholars, tribes, and private industries have attempted to navigate potential conflicts involving energy development, Chacoan archaeological study, and preservation across the San Juan Basin.

Heritage Values in Site Management
The analysis of the four historic sites featured in this publication-Grosse Ile and the Irish Memorial National Historic Site in Canada, Chaco Culture National Historical Park in the United States, Port Arthur Historic Site in Australia, and Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site in the United Kingdom-provides valuable insight into the creation and management of heritage values. Each case study articulates how values are identified and assessed by the governing bodies; where (and with whom) the values reside; how the values are implemented into management policies and objectives; and the impact that these decisions have on the sites themselves. This book will be a vital tool for institutions and individuals engaged in the study or practice of site management, conservation planning, and/or historic preservation. Also included is a CD-ROM that contains supplemental management and planning documents created and used by the site-management authorities."
