Inhalt:
An anthropologist & archaeologist working for much of his life at the British Museum, Thomas Athol Joyce succeeded in making American archaeology more accessible to non-specialists. Through careful analysis & presentation of the available evidence from South & Central America, he secured his reputation as an authority in this field, especially with regard to Mayan civilisation. Drawing on his wide reading of the published literature, he produced three pioneering & highly illustrated textbooks. The present work appeared in 1916 & focuses on Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama & the West Indies. The laws, religion, customs & daily life of the various indigenous peoples are discussed & compared, with thorough illustration & examination of a range of artefacts. Joyce intended his summary of the evidence to serve as 'a signpost for future investigators'.
