A number of professional and avocational archaeologists generously took the time to review the drafts of various chapters in the first edition. I am grateful for their comments, and I, of course, accept responsibility for any errors that appear in the text. Reviewers included Dennis Stanford, Marie Wormington, Frank Adkins, Jeff Eighmy, Bruce Jones, Jim Benedict, Jack Smith, Emerson Pearson, Linda Gregonis, Bill Buckles, Frank Frazier, Ann Johnson, Bruce Rippeteau, Bruce Huckell, Phil Duke, Kevin Black, Kaaren Hardy-Hunt, and O. D. Hand. Additionally, Helen Pustmueller (University of Denver); Liz Morris (Colorado State University); Ann Hedlund, Joe Ben Wheat, and Priscilla Ellwood (University of Colorado Museum); and Bob Ackerly (Denver Museum of Natural History) were very gracious in allowing me access to their museum collections. Manuscripts and other references, obscure and otherwise, were provided to me by Dennis Stanford, Pegi Jodry, Cal Jennings, Carl Conner, John Gooding, Bruce Jones, Marie Wormington, Ed Simonich, Sarah Nelson, Steve Kalasz, Meg Van Ness, Steve Baker, Steve Chomko, Bob Brunswig, Vance Haynes, Alan Reed, Russ Cleveland, and Betty Bachman. My treatment of the topics in the book benefited greatly from extended conversations with Marie Wormington, Cal Jennings, Bill Buckles, Joe Ben Wheat, Ann Johnson, Emerson Pearson, Jeff Eighmy, Caryl Wood Ravanelli, Dennis Stanford, Pegi Jodry, Frank Eddy, Jim Benedict, Jack Smith, John Gooding, Larry Zimmerman, Gary Feinman, Jim Hester, and Willard Louden. The excellent pen and ink cultural reconstructions in Chapters 69 were rendered by the accomplished freelance artist, historian, and bookstore proprietor Robin Farrington of Denver. The first edition text is in great measure the result of assistance by Johnson Books Editorial Director |
