In the Realm of 8 Deer. The Archaeology of the Mixtec Codices by Bruce E Byland and John M D Pohl. From the blurb: 'In the Realm of 8 Deer" is a multi-disciplinary book on the Mixtec codices, eight pictorial manuscripts that survived the Spanish conquest of Mexico. The codices, which represent the longest continuous documented history of Indian America, depict epic stories and genealogies of rulers of the Mixtec kingdoms that dominated the highlands of Oaxaca, Mexico, between AD 1000 and 1521. Three colour and 119 black-and-white illustrations and 19 maps accompany the text, which should interest Mesoamerican archaeologists, ethnohistorians and art historians.' Hardcover. 292pp.
