Ziggurat reminded me very much of "Houston, Houston." It seems almost like a reversal of that story, with female astronauts coming into the past on Earth, the primitive male killing most of them, and a "happy" ending where the female is left to the mercies of the man. It's interesting that Wolfe uses the Tiptree reference in the previous story, not in this one, which recalled her much more.
