Excerpt from A History of the Chaco Navajos The prehistory of the Chaco country will always remain a sphere dominated by the anthropological approach, for no contemporary written records of the human occupation were ever made. Any attempt to discern what took place must be reconstructed from the campsites, ruins, potsherds, and leg ends that supply a cloudy picture of developments and events seemingly lost in the passage of centuries. Each new gen aration is able to bring new tools and concepts into play in our efforts to produce an account that might be viewed as a reconstruction; each advance makes our conclusions seem more firm. Even so, we are still unsure whether we will ever be able to extract well - established data sufficient to enable us to really understand the times we investigate. If we are ever to gain the knowledge that we seek, the traditions of the descendants of the original inhabitants must be taken into account. Their lifeways, their world views, and their oral literature all form a part of these traditions. Perhaps even their histories during more recent periods may provide insights into earlier days.
