So Casas Grandes and Its Hinterland is indeed pioneering, exploratory, and pathbreaking-for the next generation. And not before time: the accelerated pace of field research in Chihuahua already crosses generations. Whalen and Minnis' students, and the students of Jane Kelley (University of Calgary), Robert Leonard (University of New Mexico), and others are (as you read this) writing thirdand fourth-generation sequels. And, in the future, others will revise and build upon these words.
