Issue editor: Paul Reed, Center for Desert Archaeology

The study of social identity has emerged as an important issue in Southwestern archaeological research, as scholars replace outdated culture area concepts such as Anasazi, Mogollon, Hohokam, or Sinagua with a more sophisticated understanding of the social roles, interactions, and migrations of ancient peoples. This issue of Archaeology Southwest Magazine examines the topic of social identity in the context of the Upper San Juan basin by examining a variety of current research projects located in this fascinating region.
