Abstract Frequent mention is made of architecture in archaeological studies of the prehispanic Pueblos of the American South‐west and architectural remains form major data for these studies. Very few archaeologists in the Pueblo area, however, attempt to include architecture (as an artefact) in broader models of the culture and virtually none have mentioned or used works from architectural theory. Although the disciplines of archaeology and architecture overlap in their concern with understanding people‐environment relationships, architecture differs from archaeology in its focus on spatial organization and on the communicative aspects of the built environment. Brief examples from studies of the prehispanic architecture of Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, are here used to suggest that such architectural viewpoints may be useful in archaeological interpretation.
