Archaeology of Northern Mesoamerica comprises the tenth and
eleventh volumes in the Handbook of Middle American Indians,
published in cooperation with the Middle American Research
Institute of Tulane University under the general editorship of
Robert Wauchope (1909-1979). Volume editors of Archaeology of
Northern Mesoamerica are Gordon F. Ekholm and Ignacio Bernal.
Gordon F. Ekholm (1909-1987) was curator of anthropology at The
American Museum of Natural History, New York, and a former
president of the Society for American Archaeology. Ignacio Bernal
(1910-1992), former director of the Instituto Nacional de
Antropologia e Historia, Mexico, was director of the Museo Nacional
de Antropologia in Mexico and also a past president of the Society
for American Archaeology. Volumes 10 and 11 describe the pre-Aztec
and Aztec cultures of Mexico, from central Veracruz and the Gulf
Coast, through the Valley of Mexico, to western Mexico and the
northern frontiers of these ancient American civilizations. The
thirty-two articles, lavishly illustrated and accompanied by
bibliography and index, were prepared by authorities on prehistoric
settlement patterns, architecture, sculpture, mural painting,
ceramics and minor arts and crafts, ancient writing and calendars,
social and political organization, religion, philosophy, and
literature. There are also special articles on the archaeology and
ethnohistory of selected regions within northern Mesoamerica. The
Handbook of Middle American Indians was assembled and edited at the
Middle American Research Institute of Tulane University with the
assistance of grants from the National Science Foundation and under
the sponsorship of the National Research Council Committee on Latin
American Anthropology.
