梅萨维德的废弃和里奥格兰德普韦布洛的形成代表了北美史前的两个经典事件。然而，尽管经过一个世纪的研究，对于这两起事件究竟如何相关、甚至是否相关，尚未达成共识。在这项具有里程碑意义的研究中，斯科特·奥特曼通过对新墨西哥州特瓦普韦布洛人的遗传、语言和文化遗产的调查，提出了一个新颖且令人信服的解决方案。奥特曼整合了人类生物学、语言学、考古学和文化人类学的数据和方法，表明梅萨维德人迁移到格兰德河时发生了惊人的社会变革，由此产生的祖先特瓦文化是来自不同来源的思想和实践的独特混合体。在解决美国考古学中几个长期存在的问题的同时，《北风》还可以作为方法指南，包括基于认知科学研究的考古学和语言相结合的新方法。因此，整个社会科学和人文科学领域的研究人员都会对此感兴趣。”
The abandonment of Mesa Verde and the formation of the Rio Grande Pueblos represent two classic events in North American prehistory. Yet, despite a century of research, no consensus has been reached on precisely how, or even if, these two events were related. In this landmark study, Scott Ortman proposes a novel and compelling solution to this problem through an investigation of the genetic, linguistic, and cultural heritage of the Tewa Pueblo people of New Mexico.Integrating data and methods from human biology, linguistics, archaeology, and cultural anthropology, Ortman shows that a striking social transformation took place as Mesa Verde people moved to the Rio Grande, such that the resulting ancestral Tewa culture was a unique hybrid of ideas and practices from various sources. While addressing several long-standing questions in American archaeology, "Winds from the North "also serves as a methodological guidebook, including new approaches to integrating archaeology and language based on cognitive science research. As such, it will be of interest to researchers throughout the social and human sciences."
