About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Mexican Archæology by Thomas A. Joyce. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. The object of this small book is to summarize shortly the extent of our knowledge concerning the life and culture of the Mexican and Maya peoples of pre-Spanish America. It has no pretence whatever to finality; indeed, the time is not within sight when a complete elucidation of all the problems connected with this most fascinating area can be put forward. - Summary by Thomas A. Joyce, from the Preface
