Press Reviews

A highly innovative and remarkable introduction to the study of ancient Mesoamerica
John M. D. Pohl, Fowler Museum of Cultural History, UCLA

The most comprehensive, up-to-date overview of ancient Mesoamerica available … will be widely consulted by those seeking an introduction to the long and rich history of prehispanic Mesoamerica and by scholars seeking a synthesis of current research and discoveries
Deborah Nichols, Dartmouth College

Lavish illustrations and tables, charts, graphic recreations, and extended photo captions … make this book most useful for students who may not have a lot of background knowledge
Phil Wanyerka, Cleveland State University

An impressive work that fills an important niche in the literature
Gary Feinman, Field Museum of Natural History
