Mexican Archæology


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

The object of this small book is to summarize shortly the extent of our knowledge concerning the life and culture of the Mexican and Maya peoples of pre-Spanish America. It has no pretence whatever to finality; indeed, the time is not within sight when a complete elucidation of all the problems connected with this most fascinating area can be put forward. - Summary by Thomas A. Joyce, from the Preface
