	CR-FP. The Frontier People: The Greater Southwest in the Protohistoric Period. by Caroll L. Riley. Albuquerque, UNM Press, 1987. Riley was one of the first to look at the New Mexico, Arizona, and the Northern Sonora region as a whole - an area he calls the greater Southwest. This synthesis of historical, anthropological, and archeological materials during the period from 1450 to 1650 helps us to understand the Native Americans living in the Southwest at this time. Riley is a pioneer in the study of the connections between Mesoamerica and the Southwest - a story that has received greater attention lately with the spectacular Aztlan exhibit at the Albuquerque Museum. Cloth, 469 pp. Hardback $15
