The field data and archaeological analysis of the first controlled excavations of the vast "City of the Gods" in central Mexico.
In 1932, the Ethnographical Museum of Sweden sent an archaeological expedition to Mexico under the direction of Sigvald Linne to determine the full extent of this ancient Teotihuacan occupation and to collect exhibit-quality artifacts.
