Shapiro, Jason S. School of American Research Pr 2005 178 pages $24.95 Paperback Arroyo Hondo archaeological series E99 Shapiro takes the innovative approach of exploring a site as if it were an artifact A distortion in an image or sound caused by a limitation or malfunction in the hardware or software. Artifacts may or may not be easily detectable. Under intense inspection, one might find artifacts all the time, but a few pixels out of balance or a few milliseconds of abnormal sound , assuming that built space indicates social organization. In the case of this fourteenth-century site, the architecture, and most important, the changes in architecture revealed how people lived and how their lives changed over time in terms of where they spent time in social groups, where and how they worked, how they prepared and stored food, and how the buildings were used in agriculture. Shapiro's analysis shows that as time went on families and individuals sought greater privacy, a situation that also has become evident in nearby developments and even in modern times. The narrative is accompanied by photographs and very interesting illustrations of the changes Shapiro observed. ([c]20062005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
