This was the textbook we used for my Maya, Aztec, Inca archaeology class. We only used it for the Maya and Aztec portions of the class. I found the text incredibly detailed, too much so for an undergraduate class. The text was extremely dense and it took me probably 3-4 times longer to read my assignments than most books I read. It was beautifully made with a lot of photographs. The layout/organization was also quite confusing. ( )
