Early Farming and Warfare in Northwest Mexico
«A significant contribution to the burgeoning literature on the early development of agricultural villages in northwest Mexico and the southwest United States. I applaud the authors' work and appreciate their attention to addressing multiple alternative explanations and creating a comprehensive vision of the early hill settlements in the Casas Grandes Valley."- James T. Watson, associate curator of bioarchaeology and associate professor of anthropology, University of Arizona
"This volume is based on careful, detailed, and long-term study at one of the most important archaeological sites in northwest Mexico and the southwest United States. It will re-enforce a fundamentally new understanding of the emergence of village lifeways and the emergence of farming economies in the Southwest/Northwest and will have an important and continuing impact on Early Agricultural period studies."- Paul R. Fish, curator emeritus, Arizona State Museum, and professor emeritus, School of Anthropology, Arizona State University»
This volume presents the multiyear archaeological investigations of Cerro Juanaquena and related sites in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico. These remarkable terraced hilltop settlements represent a series of watershed developments, including substantial dependence on agriculture and early experiments with village living, fortified settlements, collective labor, and communal architecture.

The authors place their work in a regional and theoretical context, providing detailed analyses of radiocarbon dates, structures, features, and artifacts. Authors Hard and Roney, and their contributors, present innovative analyses of plant and animal remains, ground stone, chipped stone, and landscape evolution. Through comparisons with a global cross-cultural probe of hilltop sites and a detailed examination of the features and artifacts of Cerro Juanaquen a, Hard and Roney argue that these cerros de trincheras sites are the earliest fortified defensive sites in the region. Readers with interests in ancient agriculture, warfare, village formation, and material culture will find this to be a foundational volume.
