Plateau: Big Picture Archaeology

Author: David R. Wilcox 

Publication Date: Spring/Summer 2005 

Volume 2, Number 1 

“During the past twenty years, David Wilcox has continued to think about the ‘Big Picture’ issues in Southwestern archaeology. Although the study of artifacts remains important to Wilcox and his colleagues at the Center for Desert Archaeology in Tucson, relationships among the sites themselves. Using computer technology unavailable to previous generations of archaeologists, as well as aerial photography and sophisticated dating techniques, their study of the size and distribution of sites across the landscape yields illuminating new perspectives. Those perspectives enable us to develop new syntheses of Southwestern archeology.” - Dr. Robert G. Breunig, President Emeritus
