The Chichimec Sea is a metaphorical term for that large area of mountain, desert, and desiccated lake bed that covers much of northern Mexico and parts of the southwestern United States. Aboriginally--indeed, well into his toric times--this large area was inhab ited by diverse bands of Indians who had in common mainly the fact that they shared neither in the complex civi lization of Mesoamerica nor the sub- Mesoamerican cultures of the Greater Southwest. This comprehensive and unified vol ume of original essays deals with the complex problems of interaction--across and around the Chichimec Sea--between Mesoamerica and the South west. The twenty contributions to this volume, by anthropologists, archaeol ogists, geographers, ethnohistorians, and ethnobotanists, all deal with diverse aspects of the problem of Mesoamerican -Southwest contacts.
