The Oxford Handbook of Mesoamerican Archaeology provides a current
and comprehensive guide to the recent and on-going archaeology of
Mesoamerica. Though the emphasis is on prehispanic societies, this
Handbook also includes coverage of important new work by
archaeologists on the Colonial and Republican periods. Unique among
recent works, the text brings together in a single volume
article-length regional syntheses and topical overviews written by
active scholars in the field of Mesoamerican archaeology. The first
section of the Handbook provides an overview of recent history and
trends of Mesoamerica and articles on national archaeology programs
and practice in Central America and Mexico written by
archaeologists from these countries. These are followed by regional
syntheses organized by time period, beginning with early
hunter-gatherer societies and the first farmers of Mesoamerica and
concluding with a discussion of the Spanish Conquest and frontiers
and peripheries of Mesoamerica. Topical and comparative articles
comprise the remainder of Handbook. They cover important dimensions
of prehispanic societies-from ecology, economy, and environment to
social and political relations-and discuss significant
methodological contributions, such as geo-chemical source studies,
as well as new theories and diverse theoretical perspectives. The
Handbook concludes with a section on the archaeology of the Spanish
conquest and the Colonial and Republican periods to connect the
prehispanic, proto-historic, and historic periods. This volume will
be a must-read for students and professional archaeologists, as
well as other scholars including historians, art historians,
geographers, and ethnographers with an interest in Mesoamerica.
