An important work on Prehispanic Oaxaca,
By El Oso (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cloud People: Divergent Evolution of the Zapotec and Mixtec Civilizations (Paperback)
This seminal work by Kent Flannery and Joyce Marcus (University of Michigan) details the evolution of the Zapotec and Mixtec from the Archaic to the Colonial period. Instead of focusing solely on the archaeological record to document the evolution to two closely related peoples, this volume utilizes glottochronological and ethnographic techniques to track their divergence. From the Tehuacan Valley in Puebla to the Tlacolula arm of the Oaxaca Valley, Flannery and Marcus aptly document the rise of state societies, such as Monte Alban, in the region and focus on all aspects of archaeology and anthropology to support their arguments. Such a work, one unseen previously in the archaeological community, deserves to be on the shelf of any person remotely interested in Prehispanic Central Mexico and Mesoamerica as a whole.
