Description

Central States of A merica, south of Honduras, and of theW est I ndies, in a manner very similar to that in which two former volumes have discussed the archaeology respectively of South The usa and of Mexico and theM aya districts. It used to be already approaching completion when the war broke upon Europe, and, though it used to be finished by the end of the year, circumstances combined to prevent its publication for the time. Having been engaged for the better a part of the last year in work more germane to the present crisis than archaeological studies, I have not found the task of proof-correction very easy, especially as the time which I have been able to devote to it has been extremely limited. For any faults proceeding from these disadvantages I will have to subsequently beg the indulgence of the reader. The geographical area covered by the book is one which is still very imperfectly known from an archaeological point of view ;the people inhabiting it in early times were not so highly developed, politically, as theM exicans or the Peruvians, and the literature dealing with them is neither large nor easy of access. Still a summary of the known facts may be of use, if only in performing the function of a signpost for future investigators.
