“An astounding reflection on the legacy of the 1979 masterwork. The Legacies of The Basin of Mexico thoughtfully engages a wide range of voices to reposition themes from the original Green Book in a contemporary context.”
—Kirby Farrah, Gettysburg College

"A fitting tribute to the conceptual frame that stimulated the rapid expansion of empirical information at a regional scale and the archaeological giants who implemented those field studies."
—Gary M. Feinman, The Field Museum

 

This volume celebrates the continuing impact of the most notable contributions from The Basin of Mexico: The Ecological Processes in the Evolution of a Civilization by William T. Sanders, Jeffrey R. Parsons, and Robert S. Santley. In 1979, this influential work synthesized the results of the Basin of Mexico survey projects and follow-up excavations at several sites, while providing theoretical and methodological lines of research in central Mexico and generally in Mesoamerica.
 
More than four decades after that book’s publication, the fourteen contributions in this volume review and analyze its theoretical and methodological influence in light of recent research across disciplines. Among a spectrum of authors representing several generations are those who participated directly in the Basin of Mexico surveys—including the late Jeffrey R. Parsons—as well as those who have been actively working on recent projects in the basin and neighboring regions.

Providing a broad and multidisciplinary perspective of the present and future state of research in the area, The Legacies of The Basin of Mexico will be of interest to Mesoamerican and Latin American archaeologists as well as geographers, geologists, historians, and specialists in the study of past environments.
