This volume explores questions of why ancient Mesoamerican sites were placed where they were, how the sites might have been altered, and what these activities and choices had to do with the cosmology and worldview of the people who constructed the sites. With research from experts in fields ranging from history to ethnography to astronomy, Mesoamerican Sites and World-Views is an investigation into Mesoamerican conceptions of reality through a tangible legacy we can still see today.
