Chimney Rock Archaeological Symposium. Held in Durango, Colorado on October 20-21, 1990

摘要

The purpose of the symposium was to assist the USDA Forest Service in the futuredevelopment and protection of the Chimney Rock Archaeological Area. Authors assessed the current state of knowledge about the area and helped develop future research goals. Almost a half-dozen models for the explanation of Chimney Rock and other so-called Chacoan Outliers emerged from the symposium. The meetings became a forum on the nature and role of outliers, their origins, their function, and their relationship to a political, economic, and symbolic center.
