About This Item
viii+571 pages with pictorial title, tables, charts, figures, maps, site plans, photographs and index. Quarto (11 1/4" x 8 1/2") bound in original publisher's black cloth with silver lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Because of its elaborate and precocious bas-relief rock art dating to ca. 700-500 B.C., Chalcatzingo, Morelos, has long been recognized as one of Mexico's most important Formative period archaeological sites. For decades scholars noted the close similarities between Chalcatzingo's rock carvings and the monumental art at distant Olmec centers on Mexico's southern Gulf Coast. However, the nature of Chalcatzingo and the "Olmec presence" there remained unclear. Had it been an Olmec colony? A trade control center? In the 1970s the Chalcatzingo Archaeological Project, co-directed by Jorge Angulo, Raul Arana and David Grove, sought to gather data on the Formative period village - its dwellings, public architecture, and material culture - in order to better understand the site's evolution and also its relationship with the Gulf coast Olmec. This book, presenting the results of that research, is the most comprehensive and detailed report of any Middle Formative period site in central Mexico. Condition: Jacket: Small tear front cover near spine head, 1/4" chip at head of back cover in middle else near fine in like jacket.
