Summary "Archeological Investigations in New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah" by J. Walter Fewkes is a scientific publication authored in the early 20th century. This work documents the archeological explorations conducted by Fewkes, particularly focusing on the prehistoric ruins and architecture in the Southwest region of the United States. Featuring an array of plates that illustrate the findings, the book serves as a significant contribution to the understanding of ancient cultures in these areas. In this publication, Fewkes recounts his investigations spanning several months in 1916, detailing the assessment of various ruins and architectural remnants associated with ancient indigenous populations, notably the Hopi and Zuñi clans. He provides descriptions of sites such as the Fire House and the structures in Nashlini Canyon, analyzing their architectural features and possible cultural implications. The text combines field observations with interpretations of traditional legends, seeking to connect architectural styles with the migratory histories of these ancient peoples. Fewkes aims to enrich contemporary understanding of southwestern prehistory, emphasizing the need for further explorations and excavations to uncover more about the area's complex human past.
