At Home with the Aztecs provides a fresh view of Aztec society,
focusing on households and communities instead of kings, pyramids,
and human sacrifice. This new approach offers an opportunity to
humanize the Aztecs, moving past the popular stereotype of
sacrificial maniacs to demonstrate that these were successful and
prosperous communities. Michael Smith also engagingly describes the
scientific, logistic and personal dimensions of archaeological
fieldwork, drawing on decades of excavating experience and
considering how his research was affected by his interaction with
contemporary Mexican communities. Through first-hand accounts of
the ways archaeologists interpret sites and artifacts, the book
illuminates how the archaeological process can provide information
about ancient families. Facilitating a richer understanding of the
Aztec world, Smith's research also redefines success, prosperity
and resilience in ancient societies, making this book suitable not
only for those interested in the Aztecs but in the examination of
complex societies in general.
