Opis

Urbanization and Religion in Ancient Central Mexico examines the ways in which urbanization and religion intersected in pre-Columbian central Mexico. It provides a materially informed history of religion and an archaeology of cities that considers religion as a generative force in societal change.

Recenzje

This is an excellent synthesis of the earliest cycles of urbanization in central Mexico, showing religion always entangled with politics. Later polities changed in some ways, but much endured into Aztec times. It fills a major gap in our understanding of the history of a key region in Mesoamerica.
