By placing Aztec specialists from different nations and scholastic disciplines in conversation with each other, the papers collected in The Aztec Templo Mayor illuminate Aztec culture, including offerings to the Templo Mayor, ritual and the cosmos, and rulership.
This volume examines the Aztec Templo Mayor and Aztec culture more broadly, following a renewed interest in Aztec research sparked by the 19781982 excavation of the temple. Drawing together Aztec specialists from different nations and scholastic disciplines in a collaborative effort, the papers collected here provide intriguing insights into the offerings of the Templo Mayor, ritual and the cosmos, and rulership and establish a new framework for understanding Aztec culture.
