It possible that some of the Aztecs were from the southwestern publeuo groups before they came to central Mexico?
Indeed, along with Na-Dene peoples like the ancestors of the Navajo and Apache, these groups probably had a lot to do with why the Anasazi/Ancestral Puebloans lived in their famed cliff dwellings.
A lot of this I picked up at lectures while living in New Mexico.
However a few books include.
Anasazi America David Stuart is probably the best overview. It does some very cool things like putting a Neolithic farming society in modern economic terms.
Sacred Land, Sacred View is technically about the Navajo. However there is a lot of crossover in Navajo and Pueblo thinking (and I'm of the view that many Navajo are descendants of Pueblo refugees who assimilated into the Dine after the 1680 Pueblo revolt and the 1694 Spanish reconquest of New Mexico).
The Pueblo Revolt by David Roberts tells you much about the agendas in SW archeology and history as well as actual history.
There are a couple more I need to look up but that's off the top of my head.
