Sub-title: Discoveries in the ancient southwest
I tried to get an earlier book by this author called In Search of the Old Ones that is a cult favorite among climbers and adventurers however its only available at the Heard Museum library for in-library use.
This sequel chronicles the explorations of the author throughout Arizona, Utah and New Mexico looking for remnants of ancient civilizations. He practises leaving artifacts as they are, instead of collecting and taking them away from where they were found. An amateur anthropologist and archeologist, he seeks out the experts to consult and travel with to understand the cultures.
A great read that gives me a new appreciation of the rich history of my part of the world.
