This book traces the history of past human settlement, over a period of two thousand years, in one of Mesoamerica’s most important early cities. In his new prologue, Richard Blanton discusses the genesis and background of the project, its impact on the development of urban archaeology, and the changes it stimulated in how archaeologists think about the Mesoamerican past. Originally published in 1978 by Academic Press.
