Abstract
The text focuses on *The House of the Cylinder Jars: Room 28 in Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon*, a volume presenting new archaeological research on Pueblo Bonito, a significant Ancestral Pueblo site in New Mexico. The book reports on recent re-excavations of Room 28, where distinctive cylinder jars used for preparing a frothed cacao beverage were found, providing updated documentation and insights into the site's cultural deposits and ritual practices. It reconstructs the transformation of the west court area and suggests a nonviolent dissolution of certain Chacoan authorities, raising questions about leadership and ritual significance. The work also highlights the challenges and progress in conducting respectful, community-engaged archaeology in Chaco Canyon today.
