Flannery This is a seminal tract on scientific method in archaeology and a series of studies on formative Mesoamerica that has influenced generations of archaeologist. A new Foreword by Jeremy Sabloff is featured in this edition. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description One of the classic works of archaeology, The Early Mesoamerican Village was among the first studies to fully embrace the processual movement of the 1970s. Dancing around an ongoing dialogue on methods and goals between the Real Mesoamerican Archaeologist, the Great Synthesizer, and the Skeptical Graduate Student, it is both a seminal tract on scientific method in archaeology and a series of studies on formative Mesoamerica. It critically evaluates techniques for excavation, sampling of sites and regions, and stylistic analysis, as well as such theoretical factors of explanation as population pressure, trade, and religion and launched similar studies for several later generations of archaeologists. A new Foreword by Jeremy Sabloff is featured in this edition. Flap One of the seminal works of processual archaeology, this volume explores both archaeological theory and method and the development of village life in ancient Mesoamerica.
