The Art and Iconography of Late Post-Classic Central Mexico

This volume examines the art and archaeology of Late Post-Classic Central Mexico and thematically proposes that Aztec culture was in fact creative, fighting against suggestions in academia to the contrary. The essays characteristically interweave archaeology and ethnohistory to produce more fully rounded reconstructions and analyses of an often-overlooked historical era. In recentering Central Mexico, they contribute to an improved knowledge of the aesthetic and ideological aspects of an important cultural climax zone of native America's most advanced civilization.
