Description
Summary:"Traditional" archaeological contexts do not always provide the material information necessary to establish explanations about human behavior. In these cases, archaeologists often look to other disciplines to help solve the puzzles of the past. It is in this framework that the interdisciplinary fields of historical and industrial archaeology emerge. In Mexico in particular, the impressive pre-Hispanic past had overshadowed the research of other periods in the country's past, such as historic and industrial times. Although there are fewer researchers in these areas, the results of this research are important to overall regional narratives. This edited volume seeks to show how historical archaeological activity is carried out, firstly with five papers from Mexico, followed by a second section with four other investigations carried out in Argentina, Brazil, Peru and El Salvador.
