"It is, therefore, with great pleasure that the Society, as well as over 100 former students, are now able to dedicate the second volume in the series to Florence Hawley Ellis. Not only has Florence contributed significantly to many aspects of our knowledge of the Southwest, but she has also genuinely given of herself to many, many students during her long teaching career...The present volume includes 24 papers by 29 authors, 28 of whom are former Ellis students. As a collection, the volume reflects a wide range of archaeolgoical, ethnohistorical, and ethnological topics. Stylistically, the contributions adhere to procedures specified in the American Antiquity Style Guide - 1971. Papers are preceded by abstracts and are arranged alphabetically by author." -- p.ix-x (Preface).
