Description: This book contains the field data and archaeological analysis of the first controlled excavations at Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico. The author went to determine the full extent of this ancient occupation and to collect exhibit-quality artefacts.
Synopsis: The field data and archaeological analysis of the first controlled excavations of the vast "City of the Gods" in central Mexico. In 1932, the Ethnographical Museum of Sweden sent an archaeological expedition to Mexico under the direction of Sigvald LinnE to determine the full extent of this ancient Teotihuacan occupation and to collect exhibit-quality artifacts. Of an estimated 2000-plus residential compounds at Teotihuacan, only 20 apartmentlike structures were excavated at the time. Yet LinnE's work revealed residential patterns that have been confirmed later in other locations. Some of the curated objects from the Valley of Mexico and the adjacent state of Puebla are among the most rare and unique artifacts yet found. Another important aspect of this research was that, with the aid of the Museum of Natural History in Washington, LinnE's team conducted ethnographic interviews with remnant native Mexican peoples whose culture had not been entirely destroyed by the Conquest, thereby collecting and preserving valuable information for later research. Sigvald LinnE was Professor of Ethnography at the University of Stockholm and Director of the Swedish National Museum of Ethnography until 1969. He published several other books, including "The Technique of South American Ceramics. "Staffan Brunius is Curator of the Americas at the National Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm. George L. Cowgillis Professor of Anthropology at Arizona State University and coeditor of "The Collapse of Ancient States and Civilizations. "
