This biography of Mexico's award-winning archaeologist, Eduardo
Matos Moctezuma, is based on a series of interviews conducted by
David Carrasco and Leonardo Lopez Lujan, respected Mesoamericanists
in their own right. Born in 1940 Mexico City, Matos Moctezuma's
father was a diplomat from the Dominican Republic and his mother
was a Mexican national. Thanks to his father's career, Eduardo was
exposed to other cultures throughout Latin America and he learned
to appreciate all that each had to offer.
Carrasco and Lopez Lujan demonstrate Eduardo's determination to
recover Mexico's cultural past. In addition to secondary
archaeological projects, he recently supervised the Teotihuacan
Project, where he conducted important excavations at the Pyramid of
the Sun, and he is currently general coordinator of the Templo
Mayor Project. He served as director of the Templo Mayor Museum
(1987-2001) and the National Museum of Anthropology
(1985-1987).
Matos Moctezuma has received many awards during his career,
including the first H. B. Nicholson Award for Excellence in
Mesoamerican Studies from the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Harvard University.
