Reframing Paquimé
Community Formation in Northwest Chihuahua
Based on twenty-five years of survey and excavation work in the Casas Grandes region, this book presents an interpretation of Paquimé that differs greatly from the traditional ideas that have dominated the literature for the last half-century. This massive reinterpretation of the inner workings of the Casas Grandes region tackles the essential question of how Paquimé affected its near neighbors and also addresses the enigmatic end to the great city. An essential archaeological text, Reframing Paquimé will generate debate for a generation of future scholars of Northwest Mexico and the adjacent U.S. Southwest.

Sensory Ecologies of Health Practice in Times of Change
Through storytelling, ethnography, and interviews, this volume examines how Indigenous Maya and Garifuna Belizeans—both in Belize and in the United States—navigate macro-level processes such as economic development, climate change, political shifts, and global health crises in the context of changes in their own lives. Employing an embodied ecological heritage (EEH) framework, this work explores the links between health and heritage. It offers insights into how heritage practices become embodied as ways to maintain and support happy, healthy lives.
