This book examines the architecture of prehistoric peoples in the Southwestern United States, focusing on the relationship between their agricultural practices, spiritual beliefs, and architectural development. Fewkes explores the morphological characteristics of various architectural types, particularly the pueblos and cliff dwellers, and establishes a connection between agriculture, sun worship, and the construction of durable buildings. In this work, Fewkes provides a detailed analysis of the architectural forms and types utilized by prehistoric Southwestern cultures, such as the pueblos, their construction techniques, and their evolutionary progression. He discusses how these communities adapted their architectural styles to their environmental conditions and sociocultural needs, including the significance of kivas as ceremonial spaces. The author also compares the masonry and building techniques of the Southwestern peoples with those of contemporary and ancient cultures from other regions, emphasizing that the aesthetic and structural qualities of their architecture reflect a sophisticated understanding of their society and spirituality. Through archaeological evidence and historical accounts, Fewkes illustrates the intricate relationship between the architecture of these ancient civilizations and their agricultural and religious practices.
