"Mesoamerican Archaeology: Theory and Practice" provides a nuanced
introduction to the archaeology of Mesoamerica. Offering an
alternative to traditional textbooks, this volume places the reader
in the middle of contemporary debates among top archaeologists
actively exploring the major prehispanic societies of Mexico and
Central America. Rather than attempt a single synthesis of current
archaeology from the region, the text focuses on key time periods,
sites, and the issues these times and places require us to
confront.
"Mesoamerican Archaeology "examines key moments in the
Mesoamerican historical tradition, from the earliest villages where
Olmec art flourished, to the Aztec and Maya City-states that
Spanish invaders described in the sixteenth century. Taken
together, these writings engage the chronological benchmarks of
Pre-Columbian social development in Mesoamerica, such as the
transition to village life, emergence of political stratification,
and formation of Mesoamerican urban centers. The book is further
enriched by an extensive editorial introduction, which situates
contemporary Mesoamerican archaeology in the broader terms of the
social politics of archaeology.
