Description

Excerpt from Central American and West Indian Archæology: Being an Introduction to the Archæology of the States of Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and the West Indies by Thomas A. Joyce, M.A., With Many Illustrations Two Maps

It was once already approaching completion when the war broke upon Europe, and, though it was once 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 ready to devote to it has been extremely limited. For any faults proceeding from these dis advantages I will have to due to this fact beg the indulgence Of the reader.

The geographical area covered by the book is one which is still very imperfectly known from an archae ological point of View; the people inhabiting it in early times were not so highly developed, politically, as the Mexicans or the Peruvians, and the literature dealing with them is neither large nor easy of access. Still a summary of the known facts is also of use, if only in performing the function of a signpost for future investigators.
