Notes: University of Colorado Studies, Series in Anthropology No. 5.  From Sinaloa in the north to Guerrero in the south.  An examination of archaeological artifacts–burials, ceramics (with covers, without, effigy vessels, with handles, you name it), stone implements, weapons, pipes, architectural features (mounds, tombs, caves, houses)–and where these items were found.  59 maps.  This is an artifactual data-base.  If you’re a Mexicanist this is a treasure trove.
