The publication of Volume 16 of this distinguished series brings to
a close one of the largest research and documentation projects ever
undertaken on the Middle American Indians. Since the publication of
Volume 1 in 1964, the Handbook of Middle American Indians has
provided the most complete information on every aspect of
indigenous culture, including natural environment, archaeology,
linguistics, social anthropology, physical anthropology, ethnology,
and ethnohistory. Culminating this massive project is Volume 16,
divided into two parts. Part I, Sources Cited, by Margaret A. L.
Harrison, is a listing in alphabetical order of all the
bibliographical entries cited in Volumes 1-11. (Volumes 12-15,
comprising the Guide to Ethnohistorical Sources, have not been
included, because they stand apart in subject matter and contain or
constitute independent bibliographical material.) Part II, Location
of Artifacts Illustrated, by Marjorie S. Zengel, details the
location (at the time of original publication) of the owner of each
pre-Columbian American artifact illustrated in Volumes 1-11 of the
Handbook, as well as the size and the catalog, accession, and/or
inventory number that the owner assigns to the object. The two
parts of Volume 16 provide a convenient and useful reference to
material found in the earlier volumes. 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.
