*Troweling Through Time: The First Century of Mesa Verdean Archaeology*. By Florence C. Lister. (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2004. xliv + 288 pp. Illustrations, appendices, notes, bibliography, index. $24.95, paper.)
The Southwest is the most studied archaeological region in America, possibly the world. The first published descriptions of ruins therein appeared in 1849, and there has been an ever-increasing flood of publications and films since then. In the 1930s, a archaeologists divided the region into cultural areas. The northern area was named "Anasazi" (now "Ancestral Puebloan") and sub-divided into Kayenta, Chaco, and Mesa Verde Provinces. The latter, in southwest Colorado and southeast Utah, centering on the Mesa Verde proper and the area north of the San Juan River westward to the Colorado River, is the focus of the present book.	1
Florence and Robert Lister have been leaders in southwestern archaeology since the mid-1940s. In addition to many technical reports, they produced biographies of southwestern archaeologists and the results of their studies. After her husband's death, Florence Lister continued to publish insightful, fact-filled histories about southwestern archaeology, each written with her characteristic grace and wry sense of humor. Troweling Through Time is her latest wonderful offering.	. . .
