great archaeological writing
Wow, what a great book. It turns a potentially boring and poorly researched subject into a very nice synthesis of excavation reports and ethnohistorical documents. So little was and is known about Tula and the Toltecs, yet the author manages to make it a very good read. I could not put it down, and read it in a day. Good work in translating tedious archaeological findings reports into readable prose. Good maps, and great photographs. Its this kind of stuff that archaeologists should produce more often so anybody can understand us.
