The Templo Mayor precinct at Tenochtitlan in Mexico was an important centre in Aztec ceremonial life, providing the setting for displays of highly-energized rituals. This book uses the latest archaeological research and cutting-edge computer-generated three-dimensional colour imagery to reconstruct the spaces where these ritual dramas were played out. Through a series of isometric drawings and sections cut through buildings, the author has created a compelling reconstruction of how the temple looked, and how it evolved from a scatter of mud and thatch huts to become one of the most impressive urban complexes in the world.

This book presents results from a project in Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, and attempts to broaden the reach of local salvage archaeology projects by providing a model for future teams to make their work more accessible. Data on the excavated levels, analysis and distribution tables of lithic, glass, and ceramic materials are made available along with a catalog of lithics from the pre-Hispanic period and glassware from the 19th and 20th centuries. Ceramic samples include fragmented sherds of coarse tableware of the last Aztec phases, through to the fine, glazed porcelain and majolica slabs of the 16th and 17th centuries. Finally, various construction and material elements from the 19th century and early 20th century are presented.

"Aztec City-State Capitals advances Mesoamerican scholarship by focusing attention on the urban centers outside the empire's capital of Tenochtitlan. Dozens of smaller cities were central hubs of political, economic, and religious life, integral to the grand infrastructure of the Aztec empire. Through this detailed examination, Michael E. Smith demonstrates the synchronicity of politics and urban design within the Aztec realm."--Jacket.

Instrument de synthèse inédit, enrichi par les découvertes archéologiques de ces dernières décennies, le présent ouvrage, tout en offrant une mise à jour des connaissances quant à l'architecture des différentes cultures de Mésoamérique, entend donner enfin à l'architecture précolombienne la place qui lui revient dans l'histoire de l'art universelle, avec l'aide incontournable de l'archéologie et de l'anthropologie. Sous la direction de Marfa Teresa Uriarte, le volume s'ouvre justement sur le problème historique et artistique de l'architecture précolombienne dans sa genèse, son évolution et ses conséquences sur l'architecture mexicaine jusqu'à nos jours. Toutefois, un autre élément s'avère aujourd'hui fondamental dans l'histoire de l'art: la détermination du " contexte " anthropologique dans lequel l'architecture est née. Dans la grande partie introductive qui occupe les premiers chapitres, le lien entre culture et architecture est étayé par l'identification des techniques mises en oeuvre. L'ouvrage s'oriente ensuite vers l'évaluation historique de l'architecture dans les différentes régions et cultures mésoaméricaines. Le livre est accompagné d'une extraordinaire iconographie en couleurs qui rend accessible au public le plus large les sites splendides de Teotihuacan, Tenochtitlan, Palenque, Uxmal, Monte Alban ou El Tajin, pour n'en citer que quelques-uns. II comprend en outre d'amples descriptions scientifiques, dont des planimétries et dessins, qui en font la première référence disponible à ce jour en la matière.
