"who was it who got in hot water about declaring the Anasazi (sic) and their cannibalism?"

That was Christy Turner at Arizona State University...He proved it after finding a human corpolite containing human protein, etc.

Stephen Leblanc also got quite a bit of flack, like the Turners, for suggesting warfare among the Anasazi. I highly recommend Lawrence Keeley's War Before Civilization on the topic of the noble savage myth. But just like it's important not to ignore violence where it happened. it's also important not to imagine violence where it wasn't. If the evidence shows that these weren't sacrifices, that's fine, too. Archaeologists need to try to interpret what's really there rather than what they want to see.
