Description: Social strife may have caused the collapse of the Anasazi empire. Reprint of a New York Times article from 1996.
Copyright 1996 The New York Times Company August 20, 1996, Tuesday, Late Edition - Final Section C; Page 1; Column 3; Science Desk Social Strife May Have Exiled Ancient Indians UNTIL very recently, the most perplexing mystery of Southwestern archeology -- what caused the collapse of the ancient empire of the Anasazi -- seemed all but solved.
