Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of Pueblo Pottery as Illustrative of Zu�i Culture Growth
It is conceded that the peculiarities of a culture-status are due chie?y to the necessities encountered during its development. In this sense the Pueblo phase of life was, like the Egyptian, the product of a desert environment. Given that a tribe or stock of people is weak, they will be encroached upon by neighboring stronger tribes, and driven to new surroundings if not subdued. Such we may believe was the in?uence which led the ancestors of the Pueblo tribes to adopt an almost water less area for their habitat.
It is apparent at least that they entered the country wherein their remains occur while comparatively a rude people, and worked out there almost wholly their incipient civilization. Of this there is important linguistic evidence.
