The Archaeology, Ethnohistory, and Environment of the Marismas Nacionale

Michael S. Foster has conducted extensive field research in west and northwest Mexico and the American Southwest. His publications include Greater Mesoamerica: The Archaeology of West and Northwest Mexico (with Shirley Gorenstein).

"A solid body of work and an important culmination to a large and significant project. The volume provides a balance of detail and theoretical discussion about an area and time period that is important for understanding the broader supra-regional trends in human prehistory and history." -James T. Watson, associate curator of bioarchaeology, Arizona State Museum, and associate professor, School of Anthropology, University of Arizona "Foster and colleagues have taken on a herculean and admirable task in this edited volume. It will prove to be an invaluable resource for many scholars." -Christopher T. Fisher, professor, Department of Anthropology, Colorado State University "Despite the unusually long interval between fieldwork and publication, much of the presented data are as valuable today as when initially gathered. ...All contributing authors are to be commended for bringing this book to fruition. Clearly they resisted retirement's temptations in order to produce this handsome, informative book." -Latin American Antiquity
