The Lost World of the Old Ones: Discoveries in the Ancient Southwest

The sequel to In Search of the Old Ones, twenty years on. He revisits sites and finds some wrecked by visitation and others still untouched, and pushes into new country — Range Creek in Utah, kept private by one family for fifty years and effectively a time capsule; the Sinagua and Hohokam south of the Colorado Plateau; the Fremont; a Comb Ridge panel nobody can explain. Also a chapter on the Everett Ruess bones episode he was central to. Same mix as before: Hard hiking, arguments with archaeologists, and real curiosity about people who left no writing.
