The book by one of the leading American archaeologists of the first half of the 20th century, the founder of the historical and cultural approach in the archaeology of Mesoamerica, George Clapp Vaillant, reconstructs a complete picture of Aztec society, linking the material traces of civilization with the way of organizing the economy, everyday life and spiritual life of society.
The reader is presented with pictures of the living civilization of the Aztecs, described in the categories of their own worldview - this approach of Vaillant brings archeology closer to social anthropology. The text of the study is accompanied by the author's reference materials - text tables and a voluminous illustrative series. This edition is supplemented by articles by Russian researchers, designed to fill in the gaps left out of sight in the classic work of the American scientist.
The book is of interest to historians and anthropologists, students of humanitarian specialties and all those interested in the history of the states of medieval Mesoamerica.
