Description

This timely volume explores the everyday lives of ancient Mesoamerican people from the Formative through the Postclassic. In honor of Dan Healan, who devoted his life’s work to this theme, several notable scholars present novel research to reconstruct how households produced and exchanged goods; how they carried out private and public rituals; how they built their residences and neighborhoods; organized their towns and cities; earned a living; observed the stars; and even fomented resistance within the powerful Maya, Aztec, Tarascan, Toltec, and Zapotec states.
