Ancient Mesoamerican Warfare

US and Canadian archaeologists broaden the understanding of warfare and violent conflict in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, and address approaches to the study of warfare in the archaeological record. They cover spatial boundaries and the material record, ritual, epigraphic and iconographic approaches, ethnohistoric and ethnographic approaches, and a comparison of warfare in Mesoamerica with that in the American southwest. The ample photographs and reproductions are monochrome. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
