Description
Book SynopsisThe ancient city of Teotihuacan in Central Mexico was built by a flood of immigrants who created a complex and diverse urban landscape. This detailed volume analyses 116 burials in Teopancazco, a powerful neighbourhood that controlled most of the city's intake and distribution of foreign raw materials. It gives life to the population of the earliest known multiethnic metropolis.
