This book re-writes the history of a critical if poorly known epoch--the Medieval period in North America (800-1300 CE). It draws on the latest archaeological evidence from north and south of the Mexican border as well as later sources from sixteenth-century Spanish conquistadors to reveal powerful links among Indigenous civilizations-from Mesoamerica to the Southwest and the Mississippi Valley-and their shared responses to climate change.
