OVERVIEW
Recipient of the 2005 Society for American Archaeology Book Award for its impact on the field, Ancient Mexico and Central America surveys every aspect of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, from Paleoindian times to the European intrusion, with in-depth discussion of the best-known regional cultures—the Olmecs, Maya, Zapotecs, and Aztecs— as well as lesser-known areas. In addition to its balanced coverage of Mesoamerica, Ancient Mexico and Central America conveys the excitement of the most important recent discoveries in areas as diverse as West Mexico, Guerrero, the Gulf lowlands, and the northern and southern frontiers of Mesoamerica. Throughout, Professor Evans supports her discussions with references to the latest theories on subjects such as the extent of Olmec culture, Maya dynastic histories, the Aztec palaces, and more. |
