The Geoarchaeology of a Terraced Landscape

From Aztec Matlatzinco to Modern Calixtlahuaca

Beschreibung

The toil of several million peasant farmers in Aztec Mexico transformed lakebeds and mountainsides into a checkerboard of highly productive fields. This book charts the changing fortunes of one Aztec settlement and its terraced landscapes from the twelfth to the twenty-first century.
