The title was a quote from post #9.

You mention that it's "Ancestral Puebloan culture, not Anasazi" and I'm obliged to you for the correction. Even though I didn't author that sentence, I would have made that mistake if given the chance.
My undergrad major was cultural anthropology and I'd lived in NM for a couple of years, so when I had the chance 11 years ago to visit I couldn't let it pass. I camped at the 4 Corners area for a couple of days and did a cursory bit of research around that time.
I'll look for Christie Turner's book. Thanks.

One idea is that the Aztecs used cannibalism as a terror weapon. We will kill you and eat you. dimbear Nov 2013 #17

Do not confuse Spanish propaganda and lies with facts. Coyotl Nov 2013 #20

"Anasazi culture did cannibalism at the end due to environmental factors" kristopher Nov 2013 #18

That is NOT correct. Coyotl Nov 2013 #19
