Beschreibung

167 to 450 Pages. This is Volume 2 Part 1. Bis sa'ani Pueblo consists of a monumental collection of masonry and earthen cubes, rectangles, and cylinders perched upon the summit and upper slopes of an eroded and isolated badland ridge overlooking the Escavada Wash. Bis sa'ani Pueblo forms the center of a late Bonito Phase, Chacoan community, and towers above the 35 community sites that appear scattered about the plain below and upon the distant escarpment. The cubic and cylindrical building blocks that constitute Bis sa'ani Pueblo in their massive dimension and symmetric arrangement describe a rigid and formal composition. The dimensions of the structure are magnified, and its formality is exaggerated, by its elevated placement. Bis sa'ani represents an interface between the underworld, symbolized in the kiva construction, and the heavens, to which it is exposed (Figure 24). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 22193
