This is an archaeological and historical study of Mexico City and
Xaltocan, focusing on the early years after the Spanish conquest of
the Aztec empire in 1521. The study of households excavated in
Mexico City and the probate inventories of 39 colonizers provide a
vivid view of the material and social lives of the Spanish in what
was once the capital of the Aztec empire. Decades of archaeological
and ethnohistorical research in Xaltocan, a town north of Mexico
City, offers a long-term perspective of daily life, technology, the
economy, and the adoption of Spanish material culture among
indigenous people. Through these case studies, this book examines
interpretive strategies used when working with historical documents
and archaeological data. Focusing on the use of metaphors to guide
interpretation, this volume explores the possibilities for
interdisciplinary collaboration between historians, archaeologists,
and anthropologists working on this pivotal period in Latin
American history.
